I have a puppy mill rescue that was 8 years old when she was rescued. She was in really bad shape...and ready to be killed. After many tears and a lot of work, and more than 3 years later, she is doing very well. But she will never stop cowering when you pet her. Working with a puppy mill rescue is different than working with other rescues. Some of the advice given to you here is good and some could be damaging. I would suggest going to some of the puppy mill websites and contact people who deal with this all of the time. That's what I did. I would love to talk to you and help you out. If you would like, you can e-mail me and we can get together on the phone. If I don't talk to you, just remember that it takes a lot of patience and you have to let him do everything at his own pace. Good luck. Good for you for rescuing him! One more thing; I have met a lot of dog trainers and "behaviorist" that do not understand these dogs. Again, the best thing to do is to talk to people who have done this successfully.
