Hey everyone, I've had my first dog, 3 year old rescue toy chihuahua for almost 2 months now, and the only thing he ever plays around with is a bully stick and he refuses other things. I've bought all sorts of toys, chewable, dog rope, ball, stuffed. I don't think he knows how to play with them...

Hello, first time owner here. My 3 year old adopted chihuahua (had him for almost a month now). Whenever I might be eating or doing work in my room, my dog notices I'm not giving him attention or something and walks to the other side of the room where my bed covers my sight of him. Every time I...

My 3 year old rescue chihuahua (first dog, 3rd week in now) is settling in and getting the hang of things. The one issue I'm still wrestling with right now is two-fold. He is really dependent on me, even though he likes everyone else in the family but will still be very sad if I'm not home, and...

I'm sorry he said it was the environmental change, not so much the diet change - but it could be both. The special food was for gastrointestinal issues. Thank you for the reply! The little guy is so bummed and confused :(

I have a 3 year old toy chihuahua I adopted last Friday, He woke me up at 2am, and there was wet and dry dog poop all over my room (some with mucous bloody looking liquid) - and he hasn't pooped in the house up till now. I took him to the vet, he said it was because of the diet change. I paid...

I wasn't at home to capture his crying and sadness, any specific thing I should record that you folks might find useful in helping me? I'm trying to train him but there's only so much he's willing to do at the moment. Still nervous about toys, eating and all that.

Toy chihuahua* lol my mistake. Thank for the replies! I know it will take some time for him to get used to everything but he does things that really really worry me sometimes.

I got a 3 year old toycup chihuahua and am only on day 5. I know he could probably be traumatized from his life changes but we treat him really good and when we focus attention on him he gets really happy, if things don't totally go his way he looks like he's crying, shaking, tail between legs...

In this part of the country it never gets that cold but by our standards I suppose it's colder than usual. I bought him a lil doggie hoodie lol I'll try it out tomorrow morning and see if he does any better. Thanks for the replies, I'll be sure to update! Question, I've heard dogs that are...

I understand, I'm just having a hard time getting him to play and be active (outside or in) and I can't really tempt him with treats because he doesn't go for that yet. I've been looking at him very closely and I'm having a hard time seeing any signals that he needs to go, so I take him out very...

My 3 year old lil toy chi hasn't pooped in the house since we adopted him, he seems to understand he shouldn't pee on the carpet anymore but he did pee in his bed. I did not see him do it and I think I might have made a mistake with being as stern as I was, I raised my voice and took him to the...

I got an update, he is starting to eat finally! :) Still not into treats but he had a few bites to eat. The last time he peed on the carpet I luckily saw him doing it and sternly told him not to. It was heart breaking putting on that voice to that face especially when he looked at me innocently...

Thanks a lot guys, I already feel a lot better about this :) He finally took a poop outside! He did have a pee accident in the house, unfortunately I didn't catch him in the act so I'm not sure me pointing at it and telling him not to do that in a stern voice didn't do much to teach him. As for...

^Thank you for the info! I just didn't want to start off our friendship with bad habits but a lil balogna here and there won't hurt eh? I'll say this though, he's such a sweet lil guy. My heart melts every time I look at him. At the same time I'm TERRIFIED all my reading and preparation won't...

He did the sniffing around thing for a few minutes but didn't want to go apparently. I fed him his old food, he actually did have a couple bites finally but only after being tempted with a piece or two of human food (Bologna). He was pumped about eating that but not so much with the dog food...

His name is Shecky :) Yeah he's behaving the same with food and going out. He is supposed to know how to eliminate outside but he looks at me with a confused face. I'll keep trying, anything to help him know that outside is the place for him to go? Also he seems to have already attached more to...

I just adopted a short haired chi! He's about 8 pounds and ADORABLE :D I was planning on feeding him two meals a day but he didn't really seem to care for food or treats. Its only been a few hours so I expect nervousness, what do I do if he doesn't want to eat in the evening? Also, what's a good...
