My stubborn dog troubles

believe it or not, we have tried all that. the only time he responds to a treat is to go in his kennel. I learned to train dogs with a search and rescue dog trainer. she helped me with my husky who compared to this dog was an angel :). I've only ever dealt with big dogs (huskies, golden retrievers, dobermans etc). Hopefully as he matures, he'll respond better to training. he's not a very hyper dog like my husky was, she would never sit down when company came over. but he is a chiuahua and a bit nippy at times with company and my daughter. she is very tollerant of him and he of her so we havent had any aggression problems with him and i don't expect to either. he does have access to water, but he is soiling his kennel. i find this od as dogs don't soil where they sleep and he sleeps in his kennel every night (of course I clean and scrub down his kennel everyday and change his bedding). If you know of any other techniques for small dogs or what type of correction collar to use with him b/c they don't make them small enough for this type dog, i'd be so appreciative of it. my husky did not respond to anything except a pinch collar and even though it looked like a medievil tourture device, it was much more safe for her than the choke. Thanks again for the comment! Happy Holidays!

thanks! I do keep him in a crate which is what i call a kennel. he's a good dog i think or has the potential to be a good dog. i bought an electronic noise emitting device and he has responded well to the come command so now i don't have to stand out the back door yelling "guissepe!"
