Stella loving her first spring! Also peep her after spay surgery gown it was so adorable!! If she didn’t hate wearing clothes i’d still use it to be honest and yes she did chew through her leash 😂 IMG_5285.MOV

Thanks for the tip i’ll definitely try the mat idea! I never thought about it like it could be uncomfortable for her stomach on the cold floor so that made so much sense haha. I guess until we get a mat she will continue “down” on the bed and the sofa 😂 IMG_5473.MOV

It’s not just the command either she just refuses to settle down on any floor ever. I had to even teach her “sit” on a couch first. I’m not sure if it’s a psychological thing because she slept on the floor in the shelter or if it’s something else.

Honestly I had the exact same issue with my chihuahua and i’d tried so much to get her anxiety under control but the only thing that worked wonders was CBD treats. I know people see it as “medicating” and not fixing but sometimes anxiety because of their past trauma isn’t something that can go away easily and CBD is all natural and will help your dog a lot to stay calmer and less anxious.

Hello! I recently rescued a 9 month old chihuahua puppy and it was apparent she’s had 0 training and was not even housebroken. She was incredibly scared and did not trust me one bit but has come a long way with that and her training! She’s very intelligent and eager to learn and i’ve been able to teach her “sit” “stay” “down” “no” and “quiet” and crate trained in just 2 weeks which amazed me!! The only problem i’ve had is that she won’t listen to the “down” command on any hard surfaces which is a problem if we’re invited to dinner or situations where she’s overly excited and needs to “down” for a bit but there’s no couch or bed for her to lay down on. Do you know any solution for this? Is it common for chihuahuas not to lay down on hard surfaces?
