I know im going to make mistakes and that is exactly why i am on this site because i know my old methods will not work and im trying to learn. giving this dog up doesnt exactly work. we attempted to give him to another family with yorkies, but he would not eat and lost half his body weight. he had a very strong connection to my girlfriends mother and the only other person he is comfortable with is my girlfriend. he only weighs 3 pounds and im trying to figure things out. yes i made a mistake with leaving him outside, but im trying to figure this out.
I appreciate your comments and concerns. We are going to a professional trainer to hopefully help ease this situation.
I know its a last effort, but does anyone know of a source where we could find a good family in the northwest to adopt if this doesnt work. my girlfriend initially brought this up but the thought made me feel uneasy, but after a couple weeks with him someone who has more experience may be the answer if training doesnt work |
It is great to hear that you will be working with a trainer, or if all else fails, trying to get him a loving family that he deserves. This tiny one really needs help.
I am in SA, so hopefully some one else on here who knows about rescue/rehoming in your area will be able to help you and the little man.
