I do know that if a puppy is not handled regularly by humans until after 6 weeks of age it makes human bonding very difficult if not impossible. It is almost like how a feral animals would react to a human scent. They are just not comfortable with it. You can, under certain circumstances, help to reprogram the bran's reactions but it takes much repetitive training. |
I don't think what OP discriped is usual behavior. I have worked with rescues that have some of these behaviors. I would start with a full Vet check to make sure there is no hearing, vision, brain issues or other problems. Then work on retraining. It can be done but it takes an experienced Behavioral Trainer to help you set up lessons and methods to use.
