Lynda: I have so much sympathy and empathy for this little abused souls. But what pisses me off frankly is people who "allow" their dogs to become little aggressive monsters..all because they dont want to bother training them or dont have an alpha bone in their bodies. Living with my husband's Jack russell is a daily nightmare because of his lack of training. It is not the dog's fault but at 15 not much you can do to reverse that.

Susie - thankfully he is not 'biting' - sometimes no matter how caring and nuturing we are - something happened to them that will never be removed from their being - and thankfully - there are people like you (and so many of us here) - who love them anyway.

Trust issues abound for obvious reasons. I wish I could see in their little heads and speak to them..would make helping them so much easier. ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 7:51 AM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Growling snappy Chi's I have 2 chi's. One you can move anywhere and no complaints. The other, a rescue that was scheduled for euthenasia, is something else. I 've had him for 10 yrs now and he still growls if you go to move him in or out of bed. He still checks every treat as tho I was poisoning him and goes thru a whole song and dance with his food dish before he starts eating. He jumps back , sneaks up on it , jumps back again etc. He growls when I put his harness on-no matter how much training I've done with him and how gentle I am that just seems to be ingrained in him. He will also "snap" but it's a fake he never bites, ever.
