She had wipped and yelled at her for potting on the floor so the puppy was afraid of her. The lady also had a poodle who was very sweet and happy so I know she was not a mean person just did not use the right method of training. Rose will let me pick her up if I am sitting down and she has been sleeping with us. She is fine with me after I pick her up and wants to be held all the time. I just make sure to take her out for potty breaks very often and we have only had 1 accident in the house so far. If you do not hold her she will cry. If I put her in the outside play pen during the day to play with the others she will cry so loud that is sounds like she is hurt. She is coming around and I think she will be fine soon. |
Rose is very lucky to have you as her mommy. I can't imagine whipping or yelling at a 3 lb baby. Poor whittle thing. Sounds like you've made tons of progress.
