Little Chi, Big Feelings
Helping your Chihuahua make better decisions
Biting. Barking. Guarding.
You don’t need to live like this.
Does your chihuahua:
Bark at every sound or movement?
React to dogs, people, or visitors?
Snap, bite, or guard spaces, food — or even you?
Maybe your whole day is built around avoiding the next reaction.
Closing the curtains. Crossing the road. Warning visitors.
Little by little, it becomes normal.
But it shouldn’t be.
Your life should not have to shrink around your dog’s behaviour.
These behaviours are not personality flaws. They are information.
They tell us your dog is struggling with how they feel.
And when we start there — everything begins to change.
Work with me in the 5-week Little Chi, Big Feelings Workshop
This isn't why you got a dog
A dog you have to manage.
A dog you feel unsure around.
A life that keeps getting smaller.
This isn’t about a “bad dog”.
This is a dog with big feelings who needs support, skills, and a different way forward.
Why training hasn't worked (yet)
I know you’ve tried things.
Advice. Videos. Maybe even classes.
But most training focuses on stopping behaviour instead of understanding what’s driving it.
When the emotion underneath stays the same, the behaviour nearly always finds another way to show up.
Barking becomes biting.
Outside behaviour spills into the home.
Guarding increases.
Because the feeling underneath hasn’t changed.
Inside Little Chi, Big Feelings
A 5-Week Work with Me Workshop
This isn’t about obedience.
It isn’t about quick fixes.
And it certainly isn’t about suppressing what they are trying to communicate.
We do things differently.
🐾 We look at why your dog feels the need to react.
🐾 We lower arousal.
🐾 We rebuild calmness.
🐾 We grow confidence and optimism.
🐾 We teach your dog the skills to make better decisions.
Because when your dog feels different, their behaviour changes too.
You won't be doing this alone
I'll be actively working with you throughout the process.
I will be supporting you, guiding you, and helping you work through the exact challenges you are facing with your chihuahua.
Inside the workshop you'll get:
-
Step-by-step video training modules
-
Regular live trainings
-
A private Facebook support group
-
Live Zoom coaching sessions
-
Access to a growing training hub
-
Lifetime access to all materials and future additions
This is hands-on support.
This is me working with you to help you and your dog move forward.
Imagine life feeling different
Moving around your home without bites round the ankles.
Visitors arriving without chaos.
Walks without your stomach tightening every time you see another dog or person.
A dog who can pause, think, and cope.
Not perfection.
But a calmer dog.
A more confident dog.
And a life that feels easier.
The Commitment to Change
The biggest investment here is not financial - it’s the investment in change.
It isn’t a quick fix.
You may need to make changes to your routine, attend live trainings and Zoom sessions, and spend dedicated time with your dog.
It takes consistency, small daily effort, and a willingness to do things differently.
This is about small, consistent shifts that create better decisions, calmer responses, and a life that feels easier for both you and your dog.

Why Work with Me?
Louise Kirby
BA (Hons) PGCE BCCSDip.HthNut
Certified Pro Dog Trainer and Behaviour Coach
I specialise in chihuahuas and behaviour change.
For years I have helped owners whose lives have become smaller because of barking, biting, guarding, and overwhelm.
This is not generic dog training.
This is behaviour support built specifically for little dogs with big feelings.
Lindsey Parker
I joined to try and help Lily with her nervous personality. There's lots of games and tools as part of the courses that have helped loads. The courses make you think about why they behave the way they do and create fixes from there rather than just train your dog in the way you want them to behave. Makes for a much happier dog and overall experience. Very much recommend chi school x
Helen Cee
Louise has been wonderful. The modules on calming your Chi and the games have been wonderful. The videos in the modules are short enough to take in all the info and then put it into action. I have gone back over certain modules a few times when I need a refresh. Highly recommend Louise and her well-planned out training modules.
Cheryl Diane
Chihuahua School for the win!!!
90% of the time my 11-month old Chihuahua; Diamond Girl is not joining my 13-year old Yorkie in the BARK out the window ritual. She will raise her head and look at me for reassurance that everything is okay, then lay back down. She used to run for the couch to see what the fuss was about and join in the BARK-A-THON.
Milton needed more confidence
Mochie's owner wanted to get off on the right paw 🐾
Pixie struggled with calmness around her siblings
Barry & Brian were reactive on walks
Laura P
I cannot thank you enough for all the help and advice you've given me for Lily, I finally feel like I am getting somewhere with her and that I've now got somewhere to work from. That is huge as I truly felt alone, that nothing would work and that I'd be stuck with her barking until she basically got too old to do it. As she's barely 5 that wasn't a good prospect!
Dorris Cochran
I spent hours researching various on line dog training programs. But only one trainer really felt "right" to me. Ms. Kirby's calm, practical approach really made sense to me. Following her advice helped me give Tomyris the "safe space" she needed to begin to heal. Eventually the frightened chi who hid at the back of her kennel became the cheeky, curious, affectionate little gal she is today.
Rosie Lock
When I joined the Chihuahua Puppy Success course, my pup was 6 months old, and I was feeling a bit like I’d made a mistake getting a chihuahua — she was neurotic and reactive and felt like a full-time job. Through the advice and games I learnt in the course, Gloria has gradually transformed into a happy and more confident little lady. I couldn’t recommend this course enough if you have a chihuahua puppy - I feel like we solved all the little teething problems that we had and have prevented other common chihuahua issues from starting. Thank you, Louise!
