I just moved out on my own, From the country to the city, about 7 months ago. My mom breed Chihuahuas, one of them is my own, who I saved from an abusive home. Her names Youko, she was a very sick pup when I got her and now shes my everything. I Had issues potty training her, however now that shes 7 years old, shes got the potty only outside thing down! Her last litter however I kept a puppy from. Her name is Angel, and shes just that. Except for the bad habits shes picking up quickly from her mom.

Youko has always been scared of men, because they were her abusers before I saved her. Growing up in a house of only woman didn't seem to help my cause. Now, living out in the country that didn't effect her much, until now. Even tho, at the house we had two other chihuahuas, Angel is TERRIFIED of all other animals. Or well, shes gotten use to my roommates cat, but its taken 7 months for her to do that. My sister, the crazy cat lady, had 4 friendly cats, and Angel barks and runs away as if they were going to kill her. If she so much as SEES another animal of any kind she barks and freaks out.

Now Youko, barks and chases people, being a country dog they never were tough how to use leashes until recently. Angel, will not potty when on the leash, and runs after people when off it. I am sick of cleaning "Messes" off of my floor.

So I could use some advice. How do I cure my babys?

Angel I am having issues Socializing, and now that I have to keep her on a leash when out side is potting all over my floors! She barks nonstop at anyone, and anything that moves.

Youko is a terror! She barks and jumps at people. I truthfully am worried that she might bite someone! There are a lot of kids in the nabior hood who LOVE to chase her around even if shes on a leash. Ive been werry about taking them to dog parks. Youko might go after a person, and Angel SCREAMS BLOODY MURDER when every any animal is near. And my carpets smell ~crying~ Help please?
