I am so glad we found each other tho!!! He is soooo adorable!
I am using the gated kitchen more and watching his eating. He doesn't eat much.
I have looked at the ex pen (thanks)...he paces in the kitchen against the baby gate~it kind of freaks me out, like a tiger in a cage. So I would imagine that the pen would be worse.
Can somebody give me the scoop on belly bands? I so don't get it!

Poor Bam. Circling is a habit so many of these poor souls develop because they are confined to such a small space all their life.
A belly band is a wrap, like a diaper for males. I would advise against using one and try leashing him to you instead as megansmomma suggested. If you use a belly band, you are basically giving up on housebreaking. You can see what they look like here:

It's a shame a rescue group didn't foster him and work on some of his issues first before he was just adopted out. I hope some of our YT members who have adopted puppymill dogs can help you.
