i had a chihuahua who we got from animal control. As far as we know (and we spoke to the previous owner) he was not mistreated or anything like that...but he had an agressive behaviour. With time, pacience and after getting neutered he became calmer, more friendly and got along better with other animals. He is still agressive toward strangers...but i think some parts of the "personality" will never change, but you can teach him to control it...with time he will know you better and how to react better...i think at the moment he realizes you only give him love and care he will trust you more. So have pacience and start "training" him...you will see it pays off! |
