It is sad to note that Chihuahuas have been thought of as being aggressive breed. But this is only due to Chihuahuas are very protective of their human companions and themselves, leading to a strong guardian behavior. The breed is prone to snapping and barking at anything that they perceive to be threatening, whether that be another person or dog.
This often leads to issues when in dog parks, especially because of the Chihuahua’s brave nature. A Chihuahua will not hesitate in fending off even a much bigger dog. Even when playing, a Chihuahua is highly likely to get injured because he will not realize his own stature, and the larger dog may not be aware of how fragile the breed is.
Much of the breed’s undesirable behavior could be avoided by socializing and training your pet early. This teaches the puppy to be more confident and appropriately behave when among others and helps him feel more secure and safe. In addition, a breeder has to look at temperament the same way he would check the animal’s physical traits to make sure that future progeny are friendly and confident pets.
If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s behavior, don’t hesitate to contact your animal hospital Covington, GA.
