Rescue is way too protective of me

| I might not settle. It would be worth while getting a good trainer in to assess his behavior and develop some strategies to stop the issue before it becomes entrenched. Did he come to you from a rescue organization? They should be able to refer you to a good trainer in your area. |
| There is a book by Victoria Stillwell. Train your dog Positively. I got it and a couple others from Amazon. In it there is the EXACT same problem and she says EXACTLY how to fix it. I would just tell you but there are if ands or buts in it and I don't want to screw it up. I think the book was maybe $12. A ton of other info too! It is an up to date book, I just got it maybe a month ago because I added a Great Dane pup to the mix and I am an information hog always wanting the newest info available and anything I can get I don't already know. I hadn't read anything of hers so I grabbed it. Lots of common sense stuff but liked how she gave exact info on particular problems people may have and your exact issue and how to solve it is in there! |
| This is a fairly common thing it's rescues. Let you husband be the one to feed the dog and dole out treats. All good things need to come from your husband. Soon he I'll trust your husband as much as he does you. Give your dog some time alone vs. constant attention. Smothering a dog with too much attention can cause insecurity issues and separation anxiety. Please don't just assume your dog has been mistreated in his previous home. Many rescues come from great homes and have never had a hand to be raised to them. Circumstances just made their surrender unavoidable. Let your dog start his new life with you and forget the past. He probably already has. It often takes weeks, sometimes months for a new dog to settle into a new home. Patience, kindness and training are key with any dog. |
