How to introduce my chihuahua to other dogs?

She is my baby and I know that I am too protective of her because I'm scared that she'll get hurt or even worst kill. A major part of it is me not being comfortable with other dogs coming near her because I don't know what they will do so she can sense that fear and this makes her nervous. But I just can't help it! She is very small 1.6 kg.

This may sound odd but because of chihuahua's size they are sometimes very agressive twords other dogs particulary small dogs......

It seems this is more your fear than hers, most dogs love playing with others and she will b missing out ifshe dosnt, she wont b killed shes a dog she wont break, one of the vets i work with has a chihuahua and she gives the collie and doberman a run for her money; introduce her to a dog your comftable with and trust so u can build your confidence, on the lead at first so u still have control until your happy to take the lead of; as u said she will pick up on your fear so give her lots of encouragment n praise and you will both love it; at the end of the day shes a dog and is alot tougher than you think

I have a Chihuahua who can get somewhat aggressive with other dogs. I keep him on a leash in public and make sure we keep a couple of feet away from other dogs. I try to keep him on a loose leash when walking him so he doesn't feel tense on our walks. What your dog needs is to have good experiences around other dogs to see they are not a threat. I think it'd be helpful if you looked for books that thoroughly address the process of socialization. You can also look for info on socialization on the Web.For the record: Make sure she is fixed before ever taking her to a dog park.

Introduce her to a friendly dog that your happy with, make sure she and the other dog is in a comfortable environment such as a field that you walk her in. Then make sure that both dogs are off lead and you have something such as a squirty bottle to break them up if they do start fighting (better water than a couple of chewed fingers)A thing to remember is that small dogs generally don't know that their small- i know that sounds weird but all small dogs that I've met have been able to dominat quickly and have never been hurt - I know one chihuahua which lives with 6 lab's which tower over him yet he is the dominant of the packDon't worry, she will be fine
