Some puppies are more hyper than others. You can help her to calm down by not making a big deal when you leave or return, tell her "Shush, calm down" and Do Not pick her up, that reinforces that she acts up and she gets attention. After she's a year old, she should settle down some. I recommend the book Chihuahuas for Dummies, the best I've seen on the care and training of these delightful creatures.

A chihuahua is a great deal of responsibility. They can live for up to 20 years, so it would be very important that your parent(s) are willing to have one, since the odds are it would bond to them.

They are WONDERFUL pets! I have a 13 year old Chihuahua, he is like one of our kids! They bond with whoever is in charge, I can tell you this. He was MY dog, until I got married and my husband corrected him a few times, and now he just LOVES him I guess it is a respect thing. But, when he is gone, there will be another, he is GREAT!

Hi Pooh, The reason why your dog is jumping up on you, is because they want eye contact. It's no fun for a Chi to stare at peoples ankles! It's perfectly normal, nothing that a little training couldn't cure... When your Chi jumps on/at you, just stand there and completely ignore him/her. When they calm down or lay down, they understand that you're the leader. Praise him/her for being calm. Keep this up, and in no time, she'll/he'll stop!

New Proud Owner is right, they need to have face to face time. You can teach them "No jump" just as you teach them "No bark", "No bite", etc. Say "No Jump" and ignore them, when they get down or approach without jumping "Good girl/boy No jump".

She's just a baby Chihuahua for crying out loud! They are hyper little dogs by nature. I find that talking to my Chihuahuas in a calm, soothing voice will usually calm them down.

Hello out there chihuahuas are the best gift from above. I have two. Lillyanne and Hayes. they both love each other very much . I do have to say that it is best not to pamper them to much because they will become spoiled. And also don't overlook that fact that they made a little accident. Nipp it in the budd while they are very young. And the best book to get on chis is Chi's For Dummies .

Well some dogs can be hyper and you just should take her to a doggy beach or the park so she can let all her engery out. Then when you guys get home she'll be tired out.

After owning a Chihuahua for 5 years i think the best thing to do is when your puppy barks or bites or jumps stand there and say don't jump in a very convincing voice if this does not work try what new proud owner said!
