He had also never been on a leash before, so, when we would put him on one, he was carried outside. Actually, now that he isn't being carried as much, his tail is finally up. Although, he is on the shy side still. And he is still adjusting to his new home. So maybe as the weeks go on, that will help. TY! |
Watch him gait....does the topline level off......
You said he was terrified, well by carrying him around and doing for him, you have reinforeced the behavior.....making him dependent on you. How we handle them affects their structure. So, play with him.....love him, just because he's lil doesn't make him helpless...he's a terrier.
