Smile Hi from Dublin Ireland :-D

Hi everyone I'm Lorraine and my new baby is Mitzi She is a very tiny mix breed (Terrier/Pom/chiuhuahua?). I am VERY nervous about having and looking after such a tiny dog,I already love her SO much and I'm hoping I can get advice from more experienced dog owners so I can do everything right for her. I would really appreciate ANY help
Thank you
Lorraine

Hi Lorraine and welcome.
I've only been here a few days myself, but it seems like this will be a good time. Is Mitzi your first dog? I've never had any very small dogs myself. My smallest dog was a Border collie/Shepherd mix and she was approx.50 lbs.
But I'm sure that there is someone out there with small dogs like yours and also lets face it when it comes to things like training and such, it's all the same. Have fun and we'll "talk soon".

Hi & Welcome! I have never owned a small dog either. The smallest is my current Lhasa mix who is super sturdy bodied! lol I hope you enjoy it here and find some help. Look around and do some searches (ton's of info on here) with the search button. Ask questions any time you can't find what you're looking for. And jump in on posts and share stories or whatever!

A rolled up newspaper can be an effective training tool when used properly. For instance, use the rolled-up newspaper if your dog chews up something inappropriate or has a housebreaking accident. Bring the dog over to the destroyed object (or mess), then take the rolled-up newspaper and hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase,"I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG, I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG!"
