[StinkyAcres]

Probably going to be my next dog if I follow my current plan, my "study dog" for the trainer school I'm currently planning on going to in a couple years

Awesome!

SO CUTE. I bet well-trained Chihuahuas are fantastic.

I’ve heard they are lol

I don’t think I have a favourite breed anymore (and my dream breeds are not something I can handle), but Cavaliers and Chihuahuas are the closest things to it right now.

Cavaliers for obvious reasons, and Chis because well, they’re pretty much perfect for me

I would honestly love to meet one! Almost no one trains their little dogs. It's like not training a miniature horse.

Maybe dont play until he comes to you to play. He will learn if i take the toy she will engage with me sorta thing.

Play a game with the bowl have a piece of food put it in the bowl somewhere different then where he eats. And say get it point to thr piece of food. When he gets it treat him out of your hand. That may get him use to the bowl.

The bowl thing worked!

How would you recommend I discourage him? I've been either trying to distract him with a toy, saying "ah-ah" (firmly, not harshly), and moving towards him to he is destabilized and has to sit or flop sideways. I think I've gently used his scruff and collar to reposition his body in a different direction, too. Not sure I'm doing it right

Just push him gently down and distract with a toy or chew. Redirect his attention. Hopefully it stops after a bit.

Okay, thanks! That's more or less what I've been doing.
