Hi Matese:
Thanks for asking and sorry for the delayed reply. Chaka has been good so far, laid back, well behaved and not much barking. Hoping he will like wifey and kiddo as well once they come back on Monday.
He barks loudly when he sees someone walking or running on the road and if they say hi to him, his tail starts going crazy and he wants to be petted by them.
He whines a bit when I put him in his crate in the night but settles in and sleeps through the night. I take him for a mile walk once in the morning after his breakfast/lunch and again in the evening right after his dinner. The way he says he wants to go out for potty is come to my left side and see me with his puppy eyes, during other times he comes o be petted on the right hand side
! Right now, he is laying on his back with his legs up and snoring away!
One things I am not sure, being a first time pet owner, maybe you could let me know-
1.) He does not have any interest in any of the toys. If I try to play with him, say with a ball attached to a rope he just takes it and keeps it near the bed. He lets me get the toy back and takes it right back once I place it on the ground to play. Is this normal behavior OR starting stages of resource guarding? How do I safely check for resource guarding before the kiddo comes home and I know she will be safe?
