Do most Chihuahuas bark alot?

Question

I want a Chihuahua, like the one in the taco bell commercials. How much can expect to pay for one?

Answer 1

All dogs bark. And getting a dog because you like one you saw in a commercial? That's not a good reason to get one at all.

Answer 2

Welcome to the world of being a chihuahua owner. I don t own one myself but know many who do...and they are known for being quiet the talkers. I used a no bark collar on my dog, she is a lab mix and it worked great. Its a citronella based spray and it is approved by the SPCA which means it not gonna harm your dog in anyway. Another thing many trainers recommend is actually teaching your dog to bark on command. Its easier to train your dog not to bark when they actually understand what it means to bark :-D I used this method with my Mizz Molly and it worked very well. I hope this has been at least a lil helpful. Also a search on google or yahoo may help you find other training techniques you can use that maybe more breed specific. Mina

Answer 3

Chihuahua's are known to bark, bite, and nip. Mine does NONE of the above.You need to train yours not to bark.You have to be consistant with training.
If you get one at the shelter, about $120.If you get one some where else, any where from $200 and up.
I'm sure you don't really want one just because of the commercial. You are just saying you would like to have one that looks like that.

Answer 4

They only bark if there is someone there or if they hear a noise like any dog!

But your wanting one for the wrong reasons you don't get a dog as a fashion accessory they take a lot of understanding and they can have a mind of their own which can be obstinate..

And yes they are very expensive be prepared to pay £1000 +

Answer 5

Your dog will do what you ask it to do if you are willing to train.
You can train any dog to be a nervous barker by placing them in an unstable situation and rewarding them for it ....or.... you can take a so called yapping breed and have it be calm and submissive. Every dog has the ability to bark - the question is Do you want your dog to bark.???

Answer 6

I breed them and I have non that bark much as I have trained them. However a lot of people who get any toy breed seem to think htey aren't suppose to be trained and are allowed to do whatever include continuosly bark.

Answer 7

Yeah they bark a lot but you can train them not to.


I have a Pomeranian, close enough to a Chihuahuas.

Answer 8

yes most Chihuahuas do bark. When they are on t.v. or something they seem like they don't bark a lot but, people who say they don't bark a lot they do.

Answer 9

It really depends.I only have one thing to say.DO NOT get one from a pet shop they most likely come from puppy mills.Try getting one from a shelter

Answer 10

Yes.
