Have you ever seen the show that Cesar Milan "The dog Whisper" did on Chihuahua's from hell? It was great and I learned a lot. If there is anyway you can watch it look for it on NAt Geo. Nancy

In the meantime, Paco was a total couch potato and didn't care where I set him. We'll start the classes in a couple of weeks and hope they help. She even bit me and drew blood recently when I tried to put her in the submissive position after she started growling. I made myself stick with in once I'd started, but I'm hoping the crate idea works better than the submissive thing did. ...thanks again, Annette --- In [email protected], "Rylee O'Neill" <ryleeone...@...> wrote: > > 12 weeks is still very young.
