My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

There are a few things that you will need to consider before getting a Chihuahua for a pet. Chihuahua dogscan make great pets, but they also have some traits that make them complex, particularly for families with small children or people who work boring hours.
Chihuahua pets are loyal and aggressive. They’ll frequently only bond to 1 or 2 folks. This may be great when you live alone or with one other person, but they have a tendency to not bond with more people than that. If you have a giant family or if you’re planning to have kids down the road, a Chihuahua would possibly not be your most sensible choice for a pet.
Chihuahuas also require a lot of attention. Though they’re great pets for flats or smaller homes because they don’t need lots of space to run around in, they do need a large amount of physical exercise. They also enjoy being taken out on walks with their masters, but it is better to use a harness with this breed because they have very delicate bones. If you live in a chilly climate you have to know that your Chihuahua pet can’t handle the cold. They are going to need to be covered when outside in the cold or not left out for long. If you’re employed long hours and are aiming to leave your Chihuahua pet alone for most of the day this won’t be the dog for you.
As mentioned above the Chihuahua has fragile bones. You have to be extraordinarily careful and gentle when picking them up and putting them down. Many Chihuahuas get hurt because their owner did not have a strong grip on them when they picked them up. Though their bones are fragile their musculature is basically very dense and strong.
If you do wish to get a Chihuahua pet it is important to get them socialised early. They don’t seem to be straightforward to train and ineffectual training when the dog is young can cause trouble as the dog ages. Make sure that your pet spends lots of time with other dogs of all sizes and shapes. To keep your dog from getting too overprotective it is great to let them be around lots of other folks when they’re young as well.
