There is almost no mandatory dog training exercise that is more frustrating than housebreaking. A Chihuahua presents its own special set of problems mostly because Chihuahuas hate any weather that is not sunny and warm. Because of their toy breed size many people will turn to Chihuahua paper training as the answer for their Chihuahua bathroom problems and this should be part of the process and not the entire answer. Paper should be a last resort and it should not be given to the dog as its only option.
Chihuahuas hate wind, rain and cold so you need to find an outside spot for them that is protected from these elements or else they may never take to going outside. A spot that can allow them to do what they have to do without the bother of the bad elements will help a lot in housebreaking your Chihuahua. Always remember that physically punishing your Chihuahua will create aggressive behavior in your dog and that may be something you will never get it to stop doing.
If you are set on trying Chihuahua paper training then it is imperative that you remember that paper training is a temporary solution and you are moving towards getting the dog to go outside and not let it get used to going inside. The first thing you need to do is to establish a paper area in the house that is away from the dog's food. Chihuahuas will not relieve themselves near where they eat so you can set up many layers of paper in any other area you designate.
Find a spot away from their food to set up a paper area and lay down multiple layers of paper. Your Chihuahua will not relieve itself near where it eats so make sure the paper location is away from the food and water.
When it uses the papers praise it and make it understand that the papers are where it can go in the house and the only place that it is allowed to go to the bathroom.
As you get closer to the door begin laying papers under the outside door and reducing the size of available paper inside. After a while your dog should want to go outside to use the papers and then eventually just want to go outside to relieve itself.
Do not give your Chihuahua food and water while they are in their crate at night because they have very small bladders and will not be able to wait until you let them out in the morning to do what they have to do.
Be smart about housebreaking your dog and using the paper method should be successful for you.
