What Can we do to help him get socialized and like people more? With just us in the house he's very good,it's just with other people. Any steps or exercises you can share would be very appreciated.
Any tips appreciated. |
So much for that theory. I have a dog that had some serious abuse before he came to me and now he's fine. It took just about a year. I took him every where I went with me and exposed him to everything I could think of. I did this daily for about the 1st 6 months then at least 5 days a week after that. Then one day he just woke up and it was like he decided he was a brave boy and he's been fine every since.
I'm sure someone will post with some good tricks to try soon. Good luck with him. Hmm have you tried Rescue Remedy or anything like that before you take him out? Maybe you should so he will be a little more relaxed.
