@RandomCowieTV the chihuahua handbook is something u can get from the library. u and everyone in the house needs to know to look before they step or sit down ( every time) or they can kill the dog. also no recliners or rocking chair
s, these moving parts can kill. i got mine from the shelter and she is great. good luck.
i'm not so sure about your ability to train your dog when you have him on a leash. i've owned several dogs and i've never owned a leash. when we go for a walk they just follow me. i never taught them that. if they wander off i just call them.
if you dog has the tendency to run away when he goes outside without a leash, he is probably unhappy and feels restricted and has no freedom. treat your dog with respect and you'll get respect back
@ligyro Your dogs don't run up to strangers or into traffic or anything? The main reason I use a leash is that i know a LOT of people are afraid of dogs, and I do not want my dog to run up to strangers and slobber all over them and stuff. My dog (staffordshire bull terrier) can be somewhat intimidating to some people even if she is extremely good natured. I don't want to make people uneasy, so I use a leash. Also, it's illegal not to use leashes where I live (Norway).
@ligyro loud noises can scare a small dog and cause them to run a little and that could be right in front of a car. where i live its $500 if ur dog is off a leash. open country with no roads may be a different story
Why does he have a collar on this dog when he's aware of this breed's potential trachea problems? Chi owners, get a harness - my dog loves hers, much more comfortable, too.
Don't get a collar for your Chihuahua, get a harness. It's much better for their trachea - surprised this trainer didn't make the recommendation. As for getting a name engraved on a harness/collar, I'm not sure. Google "Drs. Fosters and Smith" and I'm sure that site might be of help. Good luck.
Wow short and so good thanks!!
