Thats what I was thinking too, maybe the hubby.
Nancy, I have had Ivy for 3 weeks now and she has not had any accidents in the house yet, she is doing very well with the potty training but I'm very consistent with my training I don't give them a chance to fail...and when they do I blame myself....And I always thought that cowaring down like that was a sign of abuse too...and I can see a can of pennies scaring her but it doesn't faze tham at all and it doesn't stiop the barking LOL...All I did was take a deep breath and she freaked with fear..thats what makes me think its abuses....like you said maybe they were not as consistent with the potty training and when she did have an accident they punished her. 
And I will start her trick training today I was waitting until she got a little more comfortable with us...but I think thats a good idea..Thank you! |
I just can't stand to think of a poor defenseless dog being abused. I mean for her to freak out just because you take a deep breath, it really makes you wonder. Best of luck, I’m sure you’ll be able to make her feel safe and loved.
