Isn't he too old already for that at 22 months. So, how do I get him
to love me again? I wasn't crazy about keeping the dog since I lost a
chihuahua/terrier after 14 years; but when I got this dog, his previous
owner had fed him so much he weighs 10 lbs....when he should weigh
6 lbs! I just can't give him back. He doesn't run out of the house,
rather, we've trusted him to stay unleashed by our side. I think from
now on, your suggestion is great, and I will leash him to my belt loop
as he loves to follow us around outside.

How long does this grudge last?

You, your husband and your dog need to get some training.

First, don't let the dog get into a position where it can run out of the
house. If that means keeping the dog on a leash inside, so be it.

Second, "scolding" doesn't really communicate anything to the dog. If you
can't correct the dog the second it does something wrong, you may as well
not bother.

Third, learning how to properly correct a tiny dog like yours is a really
good idea.

Fourth, the dog sounds like an adorable handful, so get him some training!
