Chihuahua aggression to other dogs
Does anyone else have problems with a Chihuahua being aggressive towards other dogs? Is this a breed-specific thing? We have three dogs and the other two are fine when we are out walking them on their leads and we encounter other dogs, but the Chihuahua (actually has a little Bichon-Frise in him as well) goes nuts and champs at the bit (literally!) to get at the other dogs.
He is fine with our other two but it just seems any other dog he wants to engage. We've tried a few techniques like distracting him with treats or carrying him (disempowering) or simply ignoring it altogether but there has been no improvement.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
