Awww! He's sooo handsome!!! I'm glad he's doing so well. It says a lot about your father's compassion, if he's taking treats from him already. Such a great story!!!
Unfortunately, without training from his previous owner you may have to deal with puppy issues, but the good news is he won't have the sharp pointy puppy teeth to deal with.
Can you call any obedience trainers in your area to ask if Oliver will be able to be in a class if he only wants to play with other dogs? I would think they can.
It may work out best for you with one on one training instead. Or maybe train yourself to train him correctly.
I recently purchased a book that someone on here recommended to another poster. It's called, "Let the Dog Decide" by Dale Stavroff. It's very impressive and may help you teach yourself how to train him without having to go to a trainer. Plus, will cost less.
I'm so glad he's with you!!! Congratulations!!! |
