Thanks for the ideas! Thank you all for your posts. It's a great help to hear some ideas for working with our puppy. He is doing much better with people--we went to Thanksgiving with a house full of kids and adults and he was shy at first, but settled down and even let some of the kids hold him. We are still having trouble getting him to take a walk. He just stands there trembling and won't take even one step! It's getting cold here and he has a coat, but I don't think he enjoys being outside. The breeder suggested that we try taking him out several times a day to get him used to it so that's what we're trying. But the poor little guy really hates it! He's 4 months old. We'll just keep on working with him. We all love him to pieces! |
