That's good news!!
How is he usually in the car? Barking? Whining?

Well... they delayed his start in class for a month longer than necessary, and when I would try to take him to puppy class we would get sent home because he was(and still is) too small to stay. When he would stay, the trainer would hold him THE ENTIRE TIME and then tell me I wasn't working with him. 
On walks he has gotten trampled by big dogs several times because my neighbors have zero to little control over their dogs. This has made JakJak reactive. He's ok with the one little oup that he's been paired with at puppy class. It's a shame that he's leaving her behind as he gets to skip 2 levels and will be moving on to a more difficult class.
If you find something that works, please share. |
You see, I keep thinking that Mike's behaviour is related purely to the early separation from his mom and other puppies. Not having any time to learn how to be around dogs, the play rules etc would explain it easily. But JakJak came home at 3 months old, right? So he must have had time to play with his brothers and sisters.. I wonder what could be the reason. What does the trainer at a puppy class tell you about the reason for such behaviour?
