Thanks for leaving your comment. I’m happy to know my videos helped to change your mind. Congratulations on getting a sweetie pie when you do. I can’t imagine life without them ❤️

Amy Spencer 😂 that’s so funny you brought that up. I put a harness on Sabrina for the forst time last week and she immediately began obsessively doing circle spins trying to bite the tail end of the harness to get it off. I redirected her right away because I don’t want that to be her habit. We got the treats out and piled the positive reinforcement on her and she quit doing that within a few short minutes. I wish I had recorded it. She’s walking around gladly with her harness on now. Did you do any exercises to help your little sweetie pie accept the harness?

Sorry to laugh, but that sounded funny!😅

Awe, what a huge compliment ❤️ thank you so much. I’m very glad to know you’re enjoying my videos 🙏🏻

Lol!! That's so cute 😂

Skyprincess 1995 oh no! Naughty little sweetie pies! Sounds like they need some training. 🐶👿 😆

Awe, thanks Maria 😘

Free2be MeBarbie 😍🐶😍

Yay!!! Congratulations ❤️ I’m very excited for you and your family

So very true

Super happy to know this 🙏🏻

lreneerascal thank you so much ❤️

What a good boy he is ❤️ and so lucky to have you as his adoptive mama for the rest of his life

I'm glad you both enjoyed the video!! ❤️🤗

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Denise G 😆 yes she is! I think she needs to back off the treats! 🐶🍰

As my mom would say, “she’s not big, it’s just her winter coat” 😄

Trish Traynor 😂 right? As if you hadn’t noticed his size before. He’s a good boy and people would’ve be laughing at his tiny stature if only they knew him like you do! He has the heart of a lion! 🐶❤️

My baby is 3 months old, And we had to get a size small and modify by sewing the pieces to make them shorter, while retaining the ability to return it back to it's original size when she gets bigger. It was fitting PERFECTLY--- UNTIL I left it on my little stinker overnight to get used to it, AND SHE CHEWED THE DARN THING OFF IN FIVE PLACES!😳😳😳😳😳😳🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Kelly, what do I do now?🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂

It’s best to start early in harness training. 13 weeks isn’t too late but may require more effort to make her feel comfortable in her harness. Just keep it positive and give her treats or some other favorite thing every time she puts it on. Best of luck

Ooh! I'm so happy for you! What's its name?

Sweetie Pie Pets I think I’m gonna name him Leo

@@RandomPerson-qw9hz OMGOSH, Wolf--- You are going to ABSOLUTELY LOVE being a Chihuahua parent! I'm only 3 months into it for the first time, And I am SO VERY GLAD that my good friend "talked me into" adopting my Paloma! Now I don't know what I'd do without her!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Nora matuszewski why thank you so much! 🐶 👸 😘 you’re so right. Little chihuahuas can be so stubborn 😑 so sometimes it takes a little longer to find success. But with consistency, it can be done. I’m so glad you were able to get your sweetie pie leash trained. It’s wonderful to be able to walk them ❤️💕

Debbie Ebbiebobebbie 😂😂😂 “tiny fat”!! I love it 😂 He and Mila need to work on their figures 😆

jounouchi123 I think that’s a great idea. Another idea is to give him some super good treats ONLY when he’s wearing the harness. I would practice that every day for a few weeks and see if his distain for the harness improves. Harness on, immediate treat. If you always do it in that order, he’ll soon learn to associate the harness with treats and he’ll likely WANT to put it on. Make sure not to give him even one bite of treat unless he’s wearing that harness. Harness time = treat time! Hopefully, soon he’ll LOOOOVE that harness 🙏🏻 😂

EpicCuteness04 ❤️ yes, absolutely. I can’t imagine my life without my sweetie pies 😍 Good luck to you and when you start your search, be so careful because there are tons of scammer websites popping up everywhere. Let me know is you have questions along the way in the search for your puppy. Stay safe 🤗

Give her something enticing to encourage her to WANT to please you 🤞

Hope Zhang 😱 it’s crazy - all the breeders AND shelters are out of puppies right now. At least all those I’ve talked to. It’s an excellent time to get a puppy while everyone has to stay at home anyway. I unfortunately don’t know any breeders with puppies available at the moment. I should be having litters later this year. 🙏🏻 Good luck to you in your search. Be so careful because there are a lot of scammers out there. Let me know if you have questions when you start your search or if you find a website you’re not sure is a scam, please don’t hesitate to send me the link so I can look into it. Have a great week 🐶❤️

I have a Chihuahua that I'm looking for a new home for.....

Sup Dude lol silly naughty little Lola!! I guess she loves her home 🏠 💕 does she generally leave for the walk willingly? Or does she drag her feet and not want to go?

Sweetie Pie Pets she would be excited to leave but wants to get back in ASAP! 😂 so we practiced this morning before going to the marina and she just dragged me anyway. It didn’t matter... so you’re right, I just have to be more patient.

It really is a struggle 😂 I've found that kitten collars and harnesses work best on my smallest dogs

@@SweetiePiePetsThank you so much! It sure is struggle when they are so Tiny... I found a website! Plush USA I want to try out they have harnesses 3xs fits size 2-3 lbs puppies my toy poodle girl is 2.5lb 🤗 I'll update on how it goes. Right now she has a kitten collar that fits her but I want to start leash training with a harness 😁

Hello, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. Thank you for the encouragement 😊 I’m a breeder in California. Feel free to check out my website: www.SweetiePiePets.com

I recommend waiting to taking them out in public areas until after they’ve received all of their puppy vaccines. Before that time they’re susceptible to Parvo and other deadly puppy diseases. In the meantime, it’s great to get her used to the collar or harness by wearing in around the house. Practice multiple times a day putting it in, then rewarding her greatly with praise and tiny treats and let her wear it around for an hour or so before taking it off. Soon she will learn that putting on her collar / harness is a good thing ❤️

Jamie Braxton good questions. once she’s has plenty of practice and is used to wearing the harness, you can go ahead and add the leash. Usually I let them wear the harness every day for at least a week before adding the leash but each puppy will be different. It’s not as much an age issue is it is just going at whatever pace they are comfortable with. If she’s doing great with the harness already, go ahead and move on to the next step. 👏🏻🐶❤️ good luck to you and your sweetie pie 💕

my name is tara okay I love that name Petunia.

my name is tara okay awe, little Petunia needs a harness. How much does she weigh? I’ve had success using a weasel harness. The one I got fit my little 1 pound chihuahua puppy. I found mine at PetSmart, but maybe they have some online too? Good luck to you finding Petunia an tiny harness ❤️

Amazon xs. Look for the harness that you get the measurements. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L86TH8B/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_G90TEbKZ8JKC4. I got this one/ all the colours for my baby boy Link the chihuahua. It is nice and light. Breathable and with the velcro you can make it much tighter. He really doesn't mind wearing it at all. I think he shows off in it. I got him use to wearing it in the house at 8 weeks old. Now he is 14 weeks it fits lovely with plenty of room as I make sure I can get a finger under. Xxx Very easy to put on. It's like he just walks into it hehe. Love it. Xxx Oh and if it's a cold day he can wear a lil top over it as it's not bulky at all an you get the lead with it. 100% recommend. So much safer than the strap harnesses that seem to choke an wiggle out of. 😍😍😍😍

So many people have that problem. So I started my own line of Tiny Tiny Harnesses. You can buy them on my Etsy shop: Etsy.com/shop/sweetiepiepets

Poor baby, she's probably afraid of the cars and foot traffic. I would just keep working with her and maybe start the walk in the countryside with the friend's dogs and walk toward the roads and reward her more and more the closer she gets to the road. Hopefully if the friend's dogs keep walking on the road, she will too. If she's unable to overcome that fear, well, at least they're not too heavy to carry. It's more important to make her feel secure than to force her to do something she's really afraid of. Praise her for overcoming even the tiniest fear.

I just got my chiuahuah a week ago....I love him and covid19 😡 had nothing to do with dogs.....get one and love it with all of your might... you will not regret it....stay safe from Malta ❤️

I think it's the best thing! I got my Chi in late January. I am so glad I have a dog during these times!

Of course there is somewhat of a risk going out during covid, but as long as you all practice proper social distancing and wear masks, it should be fine! Good luck! 🤗

I recommend waiting until 2 weeks after their final vaccination before taking them outside. Parvovirus can live in the dirt without a host and expose an unvaccinated puppy. Safest to wait until after all 3 puppy shots.

Right now Mila is way too fat weighing in at 7 pounds. She’s on a diet and will be slowly working her way back to 5 pounds

Had she gone through the process of just wearing the harness around for a while, then dragging a leash behind her for a while?

Heather Jones you would need to get a weasel harness for a dog that small.

Thank you so much, Luna. Love you too ❤️OMG so your boy never wants to eat? He only wants to play? Yikes, that sounds like it could eventually end in hypoglycemia if you're not careful. So yes, I have some suggestions. First off, make sure he has a little area that's all his own. Either a kennel or a crate or a playpen and always keep his food bowl and water bowl in the crate along with his bed and maybe one chew toy. Establish this little area as his den. He will eventually love it!. His den is not where play time is had. It's where he rests, relaxes, rejuvenates, and eats and he needs to be on a regular schedule of being closed inside his den alone for 1-2 hours at a time, several times times throughout the day. He should sleep in there at night too, unless you're training him to sleep with you which is totally understandable if you are 😍If he's not used to being in a crate, he'll likely whine at first, but once he gets used the routine and learns that crate time means he'll be in there for a little while, likely he will stop asking to be let out and accept his rest and meal time. To keep track of how much he's eating, only add a small amount of hard kibble in his bowl at once. Start with like 10 pieces of hard kibble and keep counting them to see if he's eaten any. A tiny dog like that doesn't require a lot of calories. Likely he only eats about 5-10 pieces at one time and then an hour later eat anouther 5-10 pieces. Some puppies are grazers so they just grab little pieces of food here and there throughout the day, just enough to keep them going so just keep an eye on how much he's consuming and refill it as needed - so long as he's eating every few hours. But, if he won't eat hard kibble at all, then for now you just need to get some sort of calories down him. I recommend to boil some chicken with no seasoning and cut it into tiny pieces and add to the hard kibble. If he still won't eat that, try some canned puppy food. Anything just to get some calories down him. If he refuses everything, give him Nutri-Cal and take him to the vet. But I don't think it's a vet that he needs. Seems to me like he's just a happy boy who's distracted with FOMO and needs to have scheduled "rest" times in his den so he remembers to slow down, take a nap, and eat some food. 🙏 I hope that helps.

My dog did the same thing and he’s a chihuahua to it toook changing his food constantly and putting some puppy milk over it and using puppy milk with soft food to get him interested

Check our amazon store for treats! 😉👍 www.amazon.com/shop/sweetiepiepets

Oh yes!!! Chihuahuas can be supper stubborn. Here's what I recommend. First off, don't try to walk him just yet. Simply put the harness on and let him walk around on his own several hours a day like that. He needs to get used to the feeling. Then, after a week or so, add the leash to the harness. But still don't try to walk him or hold him. Just let him drag the leash around behind him for several hours a day for a week or so. Use some high value treats such as tiny pieces of chicken and have him walk toward you with the leash on. Still don't hold it. Praise him verbally and with a treat every time he comes to you. After a few weeks of this, he'll be used to the harness, the weight of the leash, and he'll know treats and praise are involved with this game. THEN pick up the leash in your right hand and keep the treats in the left hand. Simply practice having him walk a few steps toward the hand with the treats. Don't pull the leash at all. Let him come to you on his own. Practice this exercise 5-10 minutes daily for a week or so. By this time, he should stop resisting as much because he will view it as a fun activity that involves praise and treats. As he gets better at it, you can practice actually walking with him for a few steps . . . again, praise and treats. Keep the treats really tiny so he doesn't get fat in the process. 😂Be super patient and let me know how it goes. 🙏

@@SweetiePiePets thank you so much u saved me so much frustration, also what if he doesn't take the treats I try to offer him?? Do I use different ones

@@Seren_Volgs020 Yes I would try boiled chicken - no seasoning and chopped into tiny pieces. That tents to work wonders.

Sounds like a high energy little guy that might benefit from HIT training 😂 I work out at Orangetheory and one of the ladies brings her dog every day. It’s adorable. He works out right next to her. When she’s running he runs. When she’s lifting weights, he plays tug of war with on the leash. 😂

I might recommend some behavior classes for your Chihuahua. They are a very stubborn breed and it requires a lot of patience and consistency from their humans

Cinco De Meow!! 🧐😂

I would go ahead and start now just having her learn to wear the harness around. Don't attach a leash yet, just let her get used to the feel of the harness. Keep it super positive and upbeat and maybe a few treats ONLY while she's wearing the harness so that she learns to enjoy wearing it. Be consistent, a few minutes every day and she'll eventually get used to the harness. THEN add a leash and let her drag it around for a few minutes every day until she's used to THAT sensation. It generally takes several weeks of consistency for each step and then they eventually get it. I wish you the very best. Biting is naughty. Did you watch my video on that? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9OKZdOjuLG6aac.html

@@SweetiePiePets yes,i already watched your video and started doing it..even she dont understand when i said no and ignored me, I still teach her... only the harness and potty, not yet teach her...thanks for the reply..

Huang Yuen Fang it takes a while for them to understand. Just be consistent and keep working with her. She will eventually understand 👍🏻❤️

Sweetie Pie Pets thanks...

lol! Silly dog 😂

Sweetie Pie Pets wow creator, its 60 days since you uploaded dis and still reply on comments🥺btw my dog is old but sometimes very jealous so if i leashed my other chihuahua he would freak out😂

Yeah some chihuahuas do not like the feeling of a leash, you can try buying a harness for them to see if they would be more comfortable with that

To irritate you.
