He was a bit shy at first and was terrified of our other 4 dogs but they made him feel like one of the gang. |
He came from a breeder. So the foster home lady said he just didn't get any attention at all the entire time he was a pup. So not necessarily abuse but neglect. But your point is still the same and very valid.
I will work with him slowly and build up that "drive".
