Cesar at 17 mos started lunging and snaring at BIG dogs that he meets on our walks. I enrolled him in training and he is doing better. The method the trainer uses is to have him focus on me and not the other dog. So, the minute I notice he is focusing on the dog, I either turn and walk the other way or call Cesar's name and get him to focus on me and when he does he receives a treat. For a treat, I use tiny pieces of Pet Botanics (either beef or chicken) it comes packaged like a sausage and is sold at Petsmart. Its the treat the trainer there uses.

Hello! For 1 week now we have had a new chi named Miloh. We are in love with him! He is VERY well tempered and is so gentle with my 1 and 3 year old children. There are 2 issues we are dealing with: 1) He barks a lot and becomes aggressive with other small dogs. Calm dogs he is fine with, but if they are the least bit wary, he becomes aggressive. 2) I take him for a walk around the block morning, afternoon and night, but sometimes I find poop in the house. I caught him trying to move it or eat it once - gross! Other than that he is wonderful. He has an undescended testicle, but we are getting him neutered in 1 week. He starts positive dog training soon also. Any training methods that work especially well with chi's? What about cesar millan? Thanks! Will post pics soon! **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.
