wow what a horrible breeder smfh it makes me so angry. shes acting like a frikin pet store im so mad how can she not care about her baby. barely human contact no toys security blanket or walks or course the dog gonna get messed up.
ur doing great. keep on training him. this dog is smart very smart look he did his business in ur sons room after snapping at him. im sure he knew what he was doing exactly. ur so responsible spaying will deff curb the agressisve behavior
bunny (Unfortunately) came from a pet store she was another one who didnt know how to walk. when i took her out she just layed on the floor would not move if i pulled the harness she would just drag i had to encourage her with treats, just walk him every day give him lots of attention and treats enticing him to move forward. hanndball and treats worked for bunny, he will get used to it believe me now bunny is so used to it (after like 1 week) that im starting to teach her heal cuz shes starting to want to walk in front of me
i love how devoted u are thanks for not giving up ur so sweet. when u take him to vet ask him what to do about the agressiveness. give him toys but play with him and get hyper im sure hell get use to it just like the walks. handballs are fun or start with a kong since no dog can resist treats
keep us posted plz
