Chihuahua Behavior
Chihuahua dogs can be quirky, hard headed and sometimes just weird.
Food aggression, also called resource guarding, happens when a Chihuahua feels the need to protect food from people or other pets. Common signs include freezing, growling, snapping, and eating faster when someone approaches. Positive training and proper management can often improve the behavior.
