    Best way to tame

    I have had 3 chins in the past which I got at all different times so I found it very easy to tame and train them. I have bought two 3 months old boys after my last ones passed and am finding it quite hard to tame and train them as they compete with each other. Would love any tips from anyone ;)

    thanks for all the advice, the medication she is on is a pain relief called meloxviet, whic I have to give her daily, I will continue to hand feed her and just keep the solid food in there and hope things start to pick up

I...
