When I first rehomed Cooper, I had NO idea what I was getting myself into. She was not housebroken properly and developed dirty dog syndrome-she barked at everything-she was destructive-she ate way too fast, making herself sick, so then I had vomit to deal with a few times a day- she lacked proper social skills with people and other dogs.
**The first thing I had to do was realize NONE of these were her fault. She was only exhibiting behaviors she had developed due to lack of training. It took LOTS of work and patience to correct her behaviors. She still requires special attention and will slip up occasionally.
Your pup is going to need your attention, time, and lots of training. There is no magic or quick fix to most issues. |
