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? |
Everything can be corrected over time . It took me 1 year and half before Frimousse felt comfortable enough to go outside . When she arrived home she was so traumatized that if someone tried to touch her , she'd pooped and peed on the floor and ran under the bed . Now , she is doing way much better . Always remember to be patient , patient and patient .
