Gave the dogs both a haircut and a bath and I started walking Sammy. Since haircut and walks and being praised (lotsa ‘good boys’)
sammy’s behavior Has improved 75%, he just needs some touch and attention.
when I’m able to, Bella will be next for walks.
she’s being a good mommy so far and we are still at 7 pups-when they are restless and mommy isn’t near-all you have to do is put your face next to them ( bury your face in the puppies) and they silence immediately. We all need touch.
the owners have just had them as outside dogs for almost two years and get upset because the dogs are dogs and weren’t taught. It’s a super frustrating situation (one of the cases where they shouldn’t have dogs because no one pays attention to them). The owner wants to SEPARATE mommy from pups over night (because they keep people up-when they squeak and squeal (like pups do) and mommy sometimes sits and steps on em but she has to figure it out. I’m pressing hard about not separating them. The mindset is unreal. They also talk of forcing the eyes to open-Like what!?!
sorry to rant
Also wondering how Trouble is doing, @Dirty_habiT
he’s so proud of himself in his walks!
