Hi, thank you guys for all you encouragement. It really does help. Milo is soo sweet and is definately a handsome boy. He is gaining weight already and making so that in itself is making progress. As far as the limited registration and studding-The lady assured me this was a Full registered dog and basically said all the right things to me. She was totally lying! Yes I have thought about contacting the original breeder listed on the paper work since the lady I got Milo from stopped returning my phone calls then disconnected her number. We have called her at work and she hasn't been in. I know I got lied to and taken advantage of but now what? Right? My husband feels like pursuing this more but I don't even want to think about it.
I just need to continue bonding and reassuring Milo that the world is not soo scary. If you have any more advice on socializing or how to control his barking at strangers let me know. So far I have had to just pick him up and hold his mouth down gently to stop him..and I have given him treats..alot for doing good behavior like being quiet or not barking at my hubby..and I give them to my hubby to give to him..to gain trust..but other than that what about other family members that walk up to us or strangers?
Thanks a bunch!
