What type of rescue did you get him from? DO they have any of his history. I usually see some dogs listed as "no other dogs" " no kids" etc because it is known they don't get along. Was he given up due to his temperment? Although the previous owners might not have admitted his problems thinking the rescue wouldn't take him....Love him and cuddle him and be firm. He has to learn the rules and I think the idea of the SPCA type place is a good one. The ones you see on Animal Planet shows always seem to have ways of assessing problems and working with them. This is how I wish all the shelters worked, so people wouldn't end up adopting dogs that won't work out because nobody figured out their problems. Good luck to you guys. |
