Loyalty

• Male Chihuahuas are said to be fiercely loyal to their families. They are able to form strong bonds with family members and become protective of them. Males are also affectionate and crave attention given to them by their "people." They will stay close by and display more loving behavior than females will.
  
  

House Training

• House training male Chihuahuas can be a difficult task, since they are known for "marking" their territory. While this is a common occurrence with males of other breeds, male Chihuahuas are notorious for this action. Neutering your puppy at the appropriate age, at least 6 months old, will help to derail this activity and house training will become much easier.
  
  

Calm

• Male Chihuahuas are a considerably calm breed when it comes to their temperament and moods. They tend to be less aggressive and less likely to bite. For this reason, they are considered a good choice for families with small children. Do not let this aspect fool you into thinking that they are lazy and do not play. In fact, male Chihuahuas display exuberance and puppy-like playfulness further into their adult years than their female counterparts do.
  
  

Commands

• While house training a male Chihuahua is particularly difficult prior to neutering, training it with other commands is simple. They are considered to be highly intelligent and learn quickly. Male Chihuahuas are motivated by food and will quickly learn the cause and effect relationship when food is offered as a reward.
