Behavioral issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I acquired Tyson from a high school friend when I was four months pregnant with my son. I was emotionally struggling, and I believed that having a puppy would provide me with comfort and companionship. Tyson is now approximately 10 years old. He is an anxious, high-strung Chihuahua with cat-like tendencies and a strong sense of self-importance. He can be quite vocal, often barking and whining, and he struggles with aggression towards other animals and people. Tyson requires a calm, experienced owner who is familiar with reactive or aggressive small dogs. He must be the sole pet in the household, without any children. Despite his tough exterior, he has moments of playfulness and curiosity—he just doesn’t know how to express them appropriately. Tyson has special needs due to early trauma and deserves someone patient, understanding, and dedicated to helping him feel safe. Anxious, reactive, feisty, stubborn, territorial, cat-like, moody, sensitive, and strong-willed.
