Ya I aloud no horse play, loud laughing or yelling at all, for any reason. If we forgot I would sit down & earn his trust again & everyone involved would come sit & talk until he forgave us all (let us pet him) I honestly have often found that they started to come out of their shell w/us then once they were adopted they did fantastic, dont know if they knew it was temp houising (foster care) or just since they came from the abuse to us they linked us to it
, they would get 99% better, then once they were adopted they were completely fine.
