How to introduce your Chihuahua to a new baby

Start with small introductions

As a new parent, you may be wondering how to introduce your Chihuahua to the new baby. Here are a few things to keep in mind when making introductions:

1. Start with small introductions. Allow your Chihuahua to sniff the baby's hand or foot while you are holding the baby. Gradually increase the amount of time that the two are in close proximity to each other.

2. Be patient. It may take a little time for your Chihuahua to warm up to the new addition to the family.

3. Keep an eye on body language. If your Chihuahua starts to show signs of discomfort (e.g. licking his lips, yawning, turning away), end the introduction for that day.

4. Reward good behavior. Whenever your Chihuahua is behaving well around the baby, be sure to give him plenty of praise and treats.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your Chihuahua and baby have a smooth transition into their new life together.
