How do I make chihuahua be calm?

I'm getting a chihuahua in a few weeks, and I want to raise him/her to be calm. I'm the type of person that loves to take my animals with me everywhere, but I don't want my chihuahua to bark Everytime he/she comes out of the carier. I know the chihuahua is a outgoing breed, so should I just make him/her tired by playing, and running, before we go out? What can I do please help!

    Well first of all, it's illegal to take a pet into a public place. Second, a tired dog is a good dog. Third, you can't make a dog be something it isn't. If it is going to bark, it is going to bark. Socialization would be an absolute requirement.
