Answers:
you need to stop babying her. if she is still crying after 2 weeks whenever you leave her alone, it is not right. make sure you leave her on her own sometimes - dont run to her as soon as she starts crying. dogs are perfectly capable of being on their own - just make sure she has somewhere to go to the toilet and plenty of toys to keep her amused. gradually and slowly introduce her to the rottie, so that they are comfortable and safe around each other if they are not already.
chihuahuas bark maybe u should of thought of that be4 u bought one =(
get a water bottle and spray her when she barks, we did this with my boyfriends sisters chihuahua and it works pretty good. they hate getting sprayed. of course give the dog love after you spray it ... it will probably be really scared... but will learn quickly!!
throw it away.
Little dogs always bark a lot, that's why I like big dogs. Give it away.
She just needs time to adjust to her new surroundings
At 3 months old it's way too young to be even thinking about leaving for 8 hours a day to start with. It will need to be let out to potty at least every 3 hours.
Training may help with the barking problem, but you have to be persistant and I doo mean persistant all the time.
I have 4 Chihuahua's that only bark when the doorbell rings etc, but it took work. It did not just happen.
My best advice to you is to go buy a cheap spray bottle, and fill it with water. Everytime you hear that dog barking.....spray that dog to startle it!! If you stay strict with this method, you should have that under control with in 2 weeks!
