Lol that moment was adorable

She like (oh thats the spot yea)

🤣

She be like "You got 30 minutes to stop that !"

😂

Yup; It sure does!

Indeed! I have a chi like this. Adopted her when she was four. She's fourteen now. Obviously, she has made improvements, but still skittish and still bites others. She chose me as her "one" human and has never/will not ever bite me, but continues to bite my husband impulsively. We accept her. She has had other dogs to help her along here at home and we simply give her the best life we can. She's never been alone and I'm always at home. I think despite her nervousness, she knows deep in her heart that she is loved ❤️ ( you would think by now 🤷‍♀️ )

Where is she my wife and I would love to take her in.

Your post shows you really understand our precious little ones...🌻👍

@@peace-and-quiet Yep you just gotta meet them where they are, sometimes...sounds like you've helped her live her best life! God bless you and your hubs for that. Nice thing about small dogs is that even when they've got problematic behaviors, you can manage them because they're little guys. My rotten little baby (not a chi) was an angry little biter but usually only with MOM & DAD! HAHAHA With everyone else, acted like a little angel. Brat! But we knew how to handle her. She was only a menace at home, and a small one.

She was so cute getting pet with her scared face 🤗😃❤🧡

❤️ love always works... sooner or later!

👍🥰😀

Feral. This dog *never* trusted people. Assuming it isn't clickbait flavor text, those belly rubs should have been the *first* time she trusted people.

He really like It!

Amen. That says it all.

Indeed she is! 💚💙💜

Hello Nae, how are you doing today?

exactly what I was thinking! puppy mills dogs are often like that...

Simple lack of socialization can result in this behavior.

My dog does the same exact thing!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ikr!

Kathy Rama- Latte is a great name! My two are named Vanilla and Caramel! 🐾🐕🐾🐕

Elwood is my guy. Chi are the best. He is a long hair long leg dude. He is damn smart

Every stray or feral I meet loves belly rubs happy she got to get a loving person

@@thereissomecoolstuff yes agreed, they are super smart!

@@Stalkergames916 My little daughter was not a stray, but she was neglected and abused by her previous owner. She is my soul mate. I love her so much.

Thank you so much for saving your best friend!

@Audiogeek1958: shell* 🤔

@@khamjaninja. Thank you for the lesson in dog behavior. I’ll take this to heart whenever I get my next dog.

@@electrobuster5483 I'd like to emphasize, as someone who does behavior modification in rehabilitating abused and neglected dogs, that the last thing he said about "putting it into submission" which means forcibly holding your dog down on it's side or back, presumably to teach him who's boss, is one of the worst and most misguided pieces of information that people get. There is no respected trainer in the world that will tell you to do that. There are still other people who advocate for it though, but it's based on non scientific, outdated "dominance theory" belief, and like I said, it's one of the most discouraged practices among respected trainers. Sorry but I have to say something when I see someone giving really bad advice like that. Cheers!

TOY SHEPHERD!! That's hilarious. Velcro chi's are the BEST!

I agree with you! I tell people my dog is a toy shepherd too. And my chihuahua that passed at 17, a toy Doberman, same color as this chihuahua. Chihuahuas are the best.

Hello how are you?

When I’m the only one around I have 2 Velcro chis, but if anyone else shows up one of my girls has absolutely no loyalty. She loves everyone. She would literally hop into the UPS truck if the driver told her to 😁. She actually enjoys going to the vet because they spoil her ❤️

All true. Animal control said mine snapped at them when they rescued him. Honestly I cannot imagine this at all, has NEVER snapped at anyone in the 7yrs since!! But yes, they are fearful and anxious and can be tricky at first. But oh my yes, they bond more than any dog breed I've ever had. I'm inseparable from mine now. Wonderful breed. I'm a total convert.

There's no such thing as a "bad" dog in general. They're either feral, raised wrong, abused or have some mental illness they can't help. Also just being scared and unsure makes things hard for them. I saw once someone say ”imagine you're naked in a strange place where people talk to you in a language you don't understand. Now imagine they just wanna touch and play with you and drag you out of your comfort zone. Now you know at least a little bit about what being a dog is like." It makes me a bit sad how dogs have evolved alongside us as our partners yet most people don't even understand them. It's really not that hard. You may not be able to talk with them and pinpoint their problems easily but it sure isn't hard to notice a problem and help to fix it with them.

@Jon Bennett Way overbred, I agree. It’s gotten better here in SoCal but I still remember the faces & names of near identical dogs as above that were euthed for space. 😪

@@aurelielagrange2173 wow so the chi over breeding has actually gotten better in socal? I thought it may have gotten worse during the pandemic & everyone being at home more wanting more dogs. I sure hope it has gotten better though! So heartbreaking! Thank you for what you do in rescue!!

@@sakitoby1581 Its understandable why they are so fearful since they are so little. Everything looks huge and threatening

Hello Tracy, how are you doing today?

Hello Marsha, how are you doing today?

The shelters are full of little angels like her, just waiting for you. You can even offer to foster-to-adopt. Good luck!

I just tear up when I read that someone could hurt such a little thing so badly. Like my Mom always said, all is well that ends well.

Hello how are you?

As a mini pinscher owner I love my little guy a lot too, know the feeling, they’re family

Hello Glenda, how are you doing today?

Me too. This poor baby had a bad start in life.

Hello Sandy, how are you doing today?

Hello how are you?

My thoughts exactly.

And how much time would that be? I was *very* aggressive about giving my rescue kitten a taste of her new life, she hadn't been eating at the shelter after all her siblings got adopted away, and had spent 3 out of her 5 months alive in a cage. I wanted her to turn around *as fast as possible.* I gave her a neckrub on her first night in my home, so that she would be *less* stressed *faster,* and she was purring before night one, and eating by day two. Patience is an essential component to treatment, but so is action. The results speak for themselves, the rescue kitten I talked about is the one cuddling my face in my profile pic, and this chihuahua got well and then adopted.

@@zerosumgame5700 i don’t usually people take the not patient approach with cats so this is an interesting perspective. most people try to bond quickly with dogs though

Well if she had adopted her that’d be fine but she was the foster getting the dog ready for adoption. There are a lot of animals in need and if you take your time based on their wants, then that could potentially take time, money, and shelter away from other animals. So unfortunately that’s not always a realistic option.

@@angel1202003 I have a powerful reaction to the misery of others. I heard her story, and couldn't wait to adopt when I knew the answer was that she needed to bond with someone, and soon. Black cat, sick and undersized from not eating, not eating from depression, depressed from loneliness, with the saddest eyes I've personally seen on an animal. Her chances of being adopted were abysmal, and all she needed was love, so I wasted no time and gave her the best tiny neckrub I could manage, *then* left her alone to get to know the house. Dogs tend to bond quickly with me, for comparison. They kind of come naturally to me, the cat stuff is only since my 20s. I was taught by a cat person to get them used to being messed with while they are young, and since the two kittens weren't acting dangerously, I felt safe putting my hands on the situation from the start. The other cat didn't need any immediate attention, so my reaction was specific to the one cat and situation.

@@customer5032 Ohh, okay. Thank you.👍

Hello Lucy, how are you doing today?

Lol yeah not probable. Fearful and unsocialized sure but not feral.

In my opinion with that first question, forcing a dog out of their comfort zone like this is the wrong thing to do, it just happened to work out with this specific dog. Wrapping her in a blanket probably would’ve actually been worse because she would feel even more trapped. It probably would’ve been better if the woman first let her settle in and then *gradually* start interacting more.

As someone who does behavior modification in rehabilitating abused and neglected dogs for over 10 years, that the way it was shown and implied on this video, that this girl absolutely forced this dog into an even more fearful state by rushing it and pushing things the way she did. It is definitely not the proper way. What she's doing is called "flooding", which means she's overwhelming the dog and she's just lucky that it seems to have worked out in this case. But you're correct in thinking that you need to go at the dog's speed and at their comfort level. I've worked with feral dogs that took months before they even let me hand feed them. You can't force a dog to be comfortable, which is what this girl was trying to do.

Hello how are you?

Yes you are! Congrats!

Yes you are! Congrats!🙀
