Has he been sleeping with you? If yes, you may need to keep him out of your bedroom until he accepts his new home and eveyone in it. I know this sounds harsh, but sometimes dogs end up at the shelter because they've never been taught manners and were just allowed to do as they please. Or as in his situation, never properly socialized...
And just a warning, be careful when he is in full tilt excitement stage, they are more prone to bite, so the importance of not letting him 'get there'.
Also, try some different commands with him. It was months before I hollered 'Go lay down!' to my out of control Tinkerbell. To my shock and surprise... she did just that! I never use that command, but remembered it from a childhood moment... Try as many things that you can think of, until you find ones that will get a response from him. |
