I forgot to add a few things:

1. He is approximately two years old
2. I have no history on his previous owner/family
3. The condition in which we received him was sort of below standard considering they had to completely shave him down, whiskers and all. Some groomer...
4. The neutered him about 2 days before we adopted him and did not tell us anything about it, I had to research his records on my own to find that out after seeing a cut (with no stitches on his ____)
5. He plays well with our dogs at times, it only seems he acts out in my presence.
6. He is very affectionate to everyone in our family even my 3 year old daughter.
7. He does not respond well to his name, (Fagan or Faygen), this is the name the shelter gave him because they did not know his original name.
8. He does know sit and fetch and lay down but shows resistance doing them. He is also somewhat leash trained.
9. I have only had him 6 days and I have had my other dogs a lot longer. Starting with Weenie for 1 year, Luke for 4 months, and Jimmy for 3 months.
10. I have no training skills, my other dogs did not require any training. They were all potty trained and leash trained completely before their adoptions. None of them fought or growled either, they just simply accepted each other 100%. They even all sleep piled up on top of each other. Except Fagan...he just wants to sleep right next to me and doesn't like to be bothered while sleeping...


I just want things to go smoothly but I am still afraid that one of them may get hurt, especially Fagan if he somehow manages to finally upset Luke (the catahoula boxer mix). Thankfully the other dogs are so well adjusted and well mannered I don't have any problems out of them when he attacks. Luke weighs roughly 140 lbs and could easily cause injury, but so far so good. I just want to fix it before we have to experience that kind of upset.
