Precisely why dog lovers have this preconceived view that small breed pups are more hard to train than medium sized or large breed puppies, I will never be able to know. Housebreaking a puppy, despite its size should never be difficult.

Small dog training, is not all different from training a puppy of any other bigger sized breed. Although training any pup will have its peculiarities, according to its breed, almost all other features remain identical, and the method to training the canine should remain the same, regardless its size.

However, I will grant an allowance here, and accept that small dog training may create issues in two arenas, (1) Aggression and (2) Puppy crate training. Nonetheless, this is not because the dog is small breed, but 10 times out of 10, because of the owner.

If a smallish breed dog is aggressive and cannot be disciplined, or if a small breed dog cannot be bathroom trained or poses challenges in being bathroom trained, it is the owner who has unwittingly contributed to this situation. Let us investigate how and why.

Aggression.

Smaller dogs are liked because they are cute, they are like toy characters. Owners get pleasure from having their puppy sit on their laps. This kind of indulgence is where the complication starts. The inherent aggressive nature of the dog, is to claim ownership over its space, its food, even its owner; all puppies need to be the alpha dog.

It is the violent streak in the canine animal that induces it to get on to the lap of its owner, above all when there are plenty of persons seated in the room.

This is a obvious act of hostility. Instead of admonishing the puppy, every owner with the exception of no one, would fondle the dog, even though it jumped on to their lap without being asked to, fostering the aggressive streak in the pup. Therefore the owner has accepted the puppy's inherent need to be the alpha dog.

Growling and getting mad at a a bigger size dog is another obvious act of unwanted anger. To the owner, and even the people nearby, this is seen as cute, simply because one dog is little while the other is larger. Most owners praise the pooch instead of admonishing it, when it exhibits this aggression towards a larger dog.

These are but illustrations as to why smaller breed dogs are aggressive, and positively not because small dog training is problematic.

Crate Training

Owners are inclined to lug their small puppies around where ever they are, even when they are in the house and that renders it impossible to bathroom train them

It is, as if by second nature that the owners of small breed dogs to cart the animal to the area where the pup should go to the bathroom and then lug it back into the house.

It is this practice of carrying the puppy to its appointed toilet area that is the start of all problems. In addition, because the pup is as a general rule carried around so often it has no way of it suggesting to or notifying the owner that it has to make its business.

Small dog training starts off with treating the dog as any other large sized dog. They have to be transported to their potty area on a leash. If owners cease carrying their miniature breed dogs they would have no obstacles in training them.

Dog crate training, is the most exciting part of pup training, and so it has to be, even in Small Dog Training.
