Chihuahua Training Book
There are thousands of training books for dog owners — maybe millions, I haven’t actually counted — but, there are very few Chihuahua training books, and you and I know that although a Chihuahua is a dog, they are different in many ways than other dogs.
Loyal & Protective
Chihuahuas are very (extremely) protective and loyal. These are wonderful qualities for a dog, however, if these traits in a Chihuahua are not channeled in the right way they can become little tyrants. They will take over your house and you. They may be little, but they are mighty.
On the other hand, if they are properly trained and socialized they are the sweetest, most loving and loyal little dog on the planet.
You may get lucky and find one that just naturally has a sweet personality and get along fine without much training or socialization, but that is very, very rare.
Fear Aggressive
Chihuahuas are also fear aggressive. What does that mean? It means that when they are afraid, they do what their instincts tell them to do. They don’t retreat or cower, they get aggressive! That is the only way they know to scare away whatever or whoever it is that appears as a threat to them or their property.
They will try more subtle tactics first, snarling, curling up their lip to show their teeth, growling, and if none of those things work they will resort to biting!
Behavior Problems
This often results in behavior problems. aggressively protecting their food, toys, you, your chair, the couch, or the bed. Anything that they perceive as their property they will fiercely protect.
So if you need help to train your Chihuahua and stop the bad behaviors why let just any training book help? Why not let an expert in the Chihuahua breed help?
