Yes yes yes. Most people I know with small dogs treat them like an accessory, if a big dog acted the way most small dogs act(because of their owners) they'd be deemed out if control or even dangerous. Mini horses too, I have one I trained and he's just as well behaved as my big horses.
It usually takes a couple of weeks with a new pup before a new routine gets established. That first week is always rough. Sometimes the second week too, but usually by week 3 we hit our stride. Consistency pays off. Establish good behavior right away. Don't allow teeth on skin, and stop playing if the pup gets too riled up. Tiring them out is important, but so is teaching them to lay calmly is too.
Playing can make a puppy overstimulated.
Yes, i really need one. There are well bred puppies so close to me and adorable.
I saw a video of a guy doing tricks with his and the chihuahua was heeling offlead in distractions, sitting, staying, coming, weaving through things. Never seen one so well trained. But i bet they are awesome when well trained.
Im glad!
Yeah most small dogs are so untrained its ridiculous.
Oh wow
