Spike is my first chi...and my last..
yes at least my chi is great and wonderful, i don't really care that much about the breed. he is the only chi (that i've met) that i actully concider a good dog, i started trainning him at 9 weeks, he knows OB, is my serivce dog, knows tons of tricks! all in part to my 20 yrs as a dog traininer and growing up in the dog show world.
His mom and dad one long hair and one short hair weren't the freindlest in the world..that is why i started training EARLY!
HE still isn't completely housebroken at the age of 6! and i hate the obssessive barking!!
i have rather given up on this..desiding it's a chi thing....which is why i'll probably NEVER own another one..

This is Lucy's mom here.

Obsessive barking can be a sign of insecurity, which is common with smaller dogs. Have you tried reading anything by the Dog Whisperer? Not all chis are loud and barky - Lucy is as quiet as a mouse, until the mailman reaches the front porch or someone new enters the house...but that's just like any dog being protective. Dog behavior is a reflection of the owners and how the owners raised them, and it's never too late to make headways into changing behavior. Chis live for many, many years - so take some time and try to change Spike's behavior before you write off a whole breed of sweet doggies smile
