He might remember that in his mind you abandoned him, as dogs tend to think we cause everything that happens and right now, he's likely uncertain now to whom he should give his forever trust and loyalty. One day before too long if you bring him along with love and patience, you'll likely see the old him come out again when he's ready. Dogs rarely basically change their true nature but can hide it darn well should they feel the need. Now that you want him with you again, it's your job to help him feel safe and secure without overwhelming him. Just take it slow and allow him all the time he needs to show you he's still in there. He will. |
I just been letting him get use to my new place as we lived some where else when I had him. Like everyone on here has been telling me time is key. Each day I see he gets a little better . and yeah true if I got stuck at a friends house I would feel abandon too. And plus wad with his 2 puppies so maybe he misses his kids too. I've been taking him Every where with me so he doesn't feel alone I hope that works. What's crazy the person I gave him to I was going to let them have him but after I heard how they couldn't even get his shots which arent even expensive and plan to just keep mating him for money I'm like nope give him back. Now they are trying to buy him from me smh. I feel they should be happy they got his 2 puppies and to just leave us be. Trying to make me feel guilty for taking him back.
