Well apparently the putting him on his back is not working, it may be making things worse because some dogs really hate that and become afraid and will bite out of fear. Time to try something different.

I investigated Chihuahuas before we got one and he is totally opposite to everything they say one should be. We are trying to get some control of him. We have had many other dogs in our lifetime and had dogs who have gone through obedience training and won awards but he is so different. I spent to day every time he bit me if I went to pet him or pick him up, putting him on his back and holding him there like was suggested. Pu ting him in a collar or harness to take him for a walk takes 2 people and a box of bandages and he is only 6 1/2 months old. I guess he is going to spend a lot of time on his back.
