I am having trouble in that Nicky won't let anyone but me touch him. He has bitten two people who have tried to walk him when I am not home. He is absolutely petrified of people and doesn't like other dogs. I really feel a little overwhelmed. The rescue organization should have required him to go to a home as an only pet. I now have to come home everyday to walk him from work where before I had a dog walker. It's not just men, it's everyone who isn't me, including my daughters. Does anyone know if this can be corrected over time? Do I need to hire a trainer/behaviorist?? Prozac? Really need help. Can post in the training forum as well. I know he needs time, but depending on what happened to him in that other home (which no one will say), will this ever turn around?
