Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 4122493, member: 489"] Beautiful pup best of luck. Sounds like all kinds of real good advice to learn from. We were lucky enough to have a black lab for 16 plus years who brought home at 3 months old and never had to crate or train. Rarely a barker and just a lover didn’t have to crate her ever we got lucky. Bring in a 2 yr old rescue a Mountain Cur from Mississippi that had 5 puppies in the wild and throw all the rule books out the window. After a couple weeks she was almost heading back to Ole Miss but the turn around has been amazing. Some excellent training at Dave’s Pet Food City for a few weeks and realizing she needed dog parks to be friendly with all other dogs everything has changed. She was awful walking in parks or trails with the harness and leash loves people but was terrifying with other dogs leashed. But the more she went to the dog parks she seemed to find that she likes most other dogs in any venue. We were told by the foster parents in Stamford CT she will never be a lap dog but she will be loving and loyal. I can’t get her off my lap and she’s just a great walking partner. Your pup will need tons of exercise and I am a huge believer that dog parks help them get along in every day life with other pups. Good luck you’ll love Senna [/QUOTE]
