What annoys me is not people's opinions, they are like A*******, everyone has one, but when people get all holier than thou about their opinions like they are sent from above as the gospel, that is a bit much. I learn a lot from the group, and enjoy the diversity from feeding, to discipline, to rescue vs breeding, but we are not all carbon copies of each other just because we own Chihuahuas.

Because I don't agree with the majorities opinion on feeding. She is not wrong in feeling upset that people are giving her a hard time over a flick on the nose. Geez people have you ever seen how dogs correct one another?!?!? There ARE room for different methods, I commend her for not letting this go till her tiny dog is feared and ruling her home!! Yes they are small, but they should have manners! I tell people all the time. If my Danes can't growl and snarl at people, my 5 pound Chi certainly isn't going to get away with it!!

That WAS harsh! Please don't think all of us will respond to you this way. You have a legitimate concern. The breed has a reputation for tending toward a yappy, cranky nature. I understand you to say that you're simply concerned and want advice. I had similar concerns about Jake. But at 23 months, he is a curious, happy boy. Neither yappy nor nippy. <blockquote> >From : C.M. Subject : Re: [Chihuahuas] cranky behaviot After reading this message, I'm sorry I posted my question.

Dogs have an instinct as to what people they can trust. Also, has anyone taken the time with her to socialize her ~ gently and over a period of time, NOT JUST A SNAP ON THE NOSE?????? It sounds like you are being way too impatiant with her as well as expecting too much too soon. Dogs are like kids, each personality is different. Maybe she just needs a little extra loving and gentle care. I will take her off your hands if you like. I hate to see you both so upset.

Itsy will do this because she does not like being startled or bothered when she is sleeping. I always make it a point to say her name name and here girl, come on girl time to go out. She is fine then. Don't get your feelings hurt, it is not personal, it is a reaction. I guess my point is that not all things fit all dogs. Sounds to me like she just does not want to be bothered while she is resting. Not all dogs will always be alike. Ask yourself how she is otherwise? Is this the only time she does that?

My other 2 dogs are sweet, well behaved, loving, even tempered loves. I've worked with them & they are such wonderful dogs-well trained & very respectable. (altho they've trained me well too) LOL I've noticed when I lean over to kiss Charlotte when she's sleeping she snaps @ my face. The first time she did this I was shocked! Did it again and couldn't believe it-my feelings were hurt. Then I went to move her & she growled. I gave her a 'no' command each time but she doesn't even react to the command. I tapped her nose once & said 'no', but she just curled up when back to sleep. I will not accept this behavior so I make a point of 'bothering' her sometimes when she's sleeping so we can work on this. Anybody have any other ideas?
