What can I do about the chihuahua

No way! Most of the time the owner needs to hide to keep him from barking. He has to hold the dog with 2 hands to keep him back. The dog needs a Xanax.

I have a Chihuahua and she's extremely aggressive. I've tried everything to calm her down, but nothing works! She will bear teeth and charge people...She's something else! But, she's spoiled rotten and loved to pieces.. She's loving with us, but she's going to get her a mailman someday...

I second the suggestion on the device.

One of my friends lives in an apartment building and has a dog which she walks at regular intervals so he can do his business. Unfortunately, there is a very aggressive rat terrier in her building that pretty much all the residents have complained about. This rat terrier bursts into a fit of barking at anyone walking by, growls at people, lunges at both people and other dogs, and snaps at children. I'm amazed that nobody has been bitten as of yet but the owners have been able (thus far) to physically restrain the dog.

My friend tried several of the ultrasonic dog repellent devices and found that the Quenta one works the best. The rat terrier's owners are not happy that she has the device because after she uses it the rat terrier goes even more bats_t once they get him back into their own apartment but that is their own problem for having such a poorly trained dog.

The rat terrier doesn't lunge/growl or snap at my friend or her dog anymore since being 'trained' with the ultrasonic device.

Unfortunately it's not a rare phenomenon to see poorly trained small dogs. People who have small dogs tolerate behavior from them that would never be tolerated from a larger dog.

Just ordered the device today. There were tons to choose from and was waiting for my question to be answered on the devices. Not all reviews are legitimate I heard on Amazon.
