Thanks everyone...I'm trying everything I can...but it's like starting from scratch every day! Today I come home and he starts shaking for no good reason...I had to pick him up to take him outside (and he had to go bad enough to leave a little pee mark on his towel, even though his pee pad was right in front of him)...he'll come up to me but then sit there shaking with his ears pinned back. The kid is definitey afraid of me. I've now thrown about 6 black socks and every toy down the hallway--after letting him sniff every one--he is laying down like he's in trouble behind me. I'm trying to keep him with me in the house so he gets a little more used to it...I've started a timeout corner for when he's bad (he snapped at me last night...he got sent to timeout). I don't think he can distinguish when he's in trouble and not so maybe that will help? I don't know. He shakes when I try to teach him stuff too, and I'm using the most gentle voice I can muster. I'm at the point where I'm all but ignoring him so I don't get flustered and he doesn't get all scared...arrrrghhhh... |
