Message: [QUOTE="Stinger92860, post: 5068496, member: 393"] Hi All, A dog just rescued me! Looking for things you would recommend I try. So far he is a dream!! I did have a rescue a while back, but it was my spouse who adopted him. Then she died a year later and he was mine. I loved him with all my heart. He was the only dog plus 3 cats. He did great, but could never to get him to 100% housebroken, he liked to occasionally pee inside, but I believe I know why. Current rescue comes with a bit more baggage, He was abused and mistreated but you would never know it. He joins 2 other dogs we have. My daughter was fostering him but she has an older dog who was not happy about The new addition. I knew that would happen and I was expecting to inherit a rescue. He is not going back. It’s been a week and every hour/day he is becoming part of the pack. The other 2 are starting to include him in their dog games. Plus we have another family dog and the 4 of them are fun to watch. Desipte how quickly the new guy has adjusted and fit in, whenever we go for a walk or to the beach, he barks at other dogs. This incudes on leash and off. He is now 100% on leash in these situations. Any ideas out there why and how to modify this behavior. I am going to bring in a trainer. Otherwise no issues beyond figuring out his food likes/dislikes. He is definitely motivated by food/treats but his palate is different than the other 2. For them we make our own fresh food. He has no interest. He is underweight so almost anything to get up to the right weight will work for us. Thanks in advance!! [/QUOTE]
