NEED HELP WITH BEHAVIOR ISSUES?
This fantastic free online workshop on dog training from the K9 Training Institute that I recommend.

Although I’ve trained my own Chihuahuas for many years with great results, I still learned a thing or two from this workshop.
It is important to give your Chihuahua a Job to Do. That is when they are the happiest.
- How to train your dog using body language, rather than verbal cues
- The 3 key techniques that service dog trainers use to train dogs, and how you can use them too
- The most important step that "normal" dog owners have been missing (this is very important to get your dog’s attention, and it works 100% of the time)
- How to stop bad behaviors like excessive barking, pulling on the leash, jumping, etc
- Why a lot of dog owners are unable to establish the amazing bond that service dog trainers have with their dogs
