Seems like he is a dominant little doggie. And I think he sees you and the rest of your family as lower dogs. You need to be his leader and not the other way around. --- On Fri, 6/24/11, blanchew <grands...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: blanchew <grands...@hotmail.com> Subject: [Chihuahuas] Rider To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, June 24, 2011, 10:42 PM Hi everyone. I have a 6 month old male, who is a darling, he enjoys snuggling on his terms but does not like to be petted when he just walks by or when he comes to sit on your knee. Is that normal. He is the one, I was talking about last week about the reverse sneezing. He started last night again and I tried the pinching his nostrils and it stopped right away but he started biting me. We are having quite a few behaviors with him. Blanche and Rider
