My rescue Chihuahua, Mango, was the most stubborn dog I had ever met. Every trainer I found treated small dogs like accessories instead of actual dogs. That frustration turned into a deep dive into canine behavioral science and a commitment to writing health and training advice that respects a Chihuahua's intelligence, not just their size. I started writing because I kept having the same conversations with other small-dog owners who felt dismissed by mainstream training advice. I live in Austin with Mango and Socks. They have taught me more about patience than any textbook.
