Congratulations on your newest little buddy! i am so happy to read that your newest is coming around. What's his name?
My Monty was shuffled around and spent most of his young life in and out of a pet store so I tasted a tiny bit of that aggression/fear/anxiety/whattheheckisgoingon kind of behaviour. It took him many weeks to learn to trust me and love me and want to please me by being his best (LOL - he's the king!!)
No but really, he does have his own mind and when he doesn't wanna ... <insert action> ... he has to be coaxed. There has never been a growl toward me or my partner since he learned that A. I won't hurt him. B. I won't let him get away with it. C. I am learning his language so my desires are within his range (if that makes sense?) So in other words ... teaching a Yorkie to "come" isn't the same as teaching a Lab to "come." So I don't get confused when he sits there and looks at me ... hahaha. |
