Answer 1

First of all I dont think the dog hates you because dogs aren't able to rationalize the way humans do. Does it snap and growl at you?? If so, what you view as hate is nothing more than the dog being dominant over you. You have to establish dominance by taking the dog on structured walks,meaning not letting it pull in front of you, not letting it sniff the grass when it wants and walking by your side at your pace all the time. I'm not saying not to let the dog do anything but to let it do them on your terms only. a dog still needs to be a dog but if you let it do as it likes then you have behavioural issues such as this. Indoors, you shouldn't let the dog do things that you disapprove of.

**Remain Calm and assertive during all of this.**
And please remember to practice these methods safely.

You should start by giving the dog longer walks. Dogs are diffent than us and require more exercise. 45 minutes MINIMUM should suffice, if you dont have the time then you can get a dog walker, but remember during the walk is when the conditioning should begin(dogs always at your side, never in front of you pulling and never sniffing around) the head should always be up away from the ground that way you control 60 percent of the brain.

When or if the dog ever barks or growls at you, no matter how intimidating it may seem, never back down because the dog will win in the situation and will continue to use these tactics to get its way.

When the dog does something wrong a correction needs to be made. A slight tug on the leash and a corrective sound should be made. Not a yank or anything harmful, just enough to divert the dogs attention from what he's doing wrong.

If need be, you can "bite" your dog in a dominant manner by using your fingers as the teeth and laying the dog on it's side with your "mouth hand" on its neck. Thumb should be on the back of the dogs neck and other fingers should be on the front of the dogs neck. Dont apply a pushing pressure but rather a kind of squeezing or biting pressure not hard enough to show murderous intent but firm enough to show the dog to calm down or that you're the dominant one. dogs do this in the wild to establish dominance and mother dogs do this to set rules, boundaries and limitations, kind of like grabbing an out of control child and telling it to calm down. Following some of these techniques should help you "mean dog" to calm down and become submissive to you.

I am curious about the age of the dog and when you got him? But smaller dogs are generally more temperamental anyway. If someone owned him previously, then he just hasn't bonded with you yet. If you have always owned him, then possible he has issues of loyalty with another person in the home, or has fears ...more information would help. Definitely try to find out the dogs favorite things, be the person that feeds him, and have patience.

Just keep giving it love and attention. My boyfriend's chihuahua hated me when I first came around. Now he loves all over me. If you just bought your dog he will need time to adjust to you. Also, some small dogs are just very aloof. My daughter has a very small dog. He's very loving when he wants to be, but when he wants to be alone he's quite cranky. Don't take it personally; just give him time.

i think your dog is newly brought it will take time to adjust
