Ok- so here's my 2 cents: 1. enroll in obedience training with someone who knows something about small dogs- preferably chi's. My trainer has 2 chi's qualified in therapy. 2. Be patient and consistent. I like the leash training. Chi's need good boundaries and to know the rules. They are smart but stubborn. Like my kids, I will win at any battle I choose. I choose them carefully though. Nipping, barking and growling is not appropriate. 3. I use a squirt gun for barking with Frida. She barks and goes crazy she gets squirted. She quiets down. 4. Put bacon in grandma's pockets. Dogs love bacon. Men love bacon. Either way Mom is happy...:)
