| Hey check out my teeth!!! |
This time I'm writing about our little friend Shadow. Shadow has some issues. We really didn't understand when or why it was happening. But it seems we have raised a very stressed out dog. As you can see in our first photo the dog has an attitude. Did you know that if a dog has not seen several people and other animals before they reach 12 months old they will never be socialized. Nature shuts down this socializing by 12 months. We had this dog after that period and couldn't do anything about that. But what we can do is help him out and get him back on the right track. As most mad angry dogs, Shadow suffers from anxiety. Before we went to a dog trainer we let him eat whenever he wanted to, he was up on furniture when he wants and sits above other family members. Now Shadow has been demoted as the guardian of the family, and has to work at getting affection, getting attention. Three things hopefully will help out with this transformation. One a "Gentle Leader", "Thunder Shirt", and "Quiet Moments". Now I'm sure that there's a lot of people saying why spend so much time on a dog. But I'll say this, we're not just here on earth to kill things we're given the responsibility to take care of other animals. Dogs have been domesticated for hundreds of years from the Wolf. Our little wolf Shadow will be a better dog if we teach him that we're the leader. He's just too stressed out to be the leader.He much rather have someone else be in charge and tell him what, when, and why of things.
