Aggression rescue dog to men? Prepare yourself for a huge amount of information, but more is better then less.
My friend and I decided to take a dog for some time - to share the dog and the responsibilities of owning one. We are twenty-five years and know how to take care of dogs. Fishing is, we live in different states and I come back from time to time. This means, we would each have the dog for a month at a time or if the plan goes.
When our vacation in Missouri, we stopped by the Humane Society no intentions on getting a dog (which is probably the story), but finished anyway. It is a true mutt 1.5 years old, underweight, but not starving, and 45 pounds. ZARK is his name, as we have renamed to honor our trip. He and his brothers and sisters have been filed against the pound at 4 months of age .. The woman who runs the shelter because it seems that his scars were dog attack a few months ago, but after asking once we started to notice the state of scars - how they looked new. We learned that he was attacked by a large dog only 6-8 weeks. (All this knowledge after the adoption) We drove from MO to MN without any problem, why I've never had a dog behaves so well in the car.
At this stage, it was fairly well stabilized with us to say hello skip WAG WAG lick lick ... other then that he was very shy with people, with its tail tucked under.
We finally returned to MN around midnight. Since my friend has a very busy household, I took home ZARK sleep with me, which, in addition to taking the whole bed, he did fine. In addition, ZARK did not know how to use the stairs, which was a TV, or understand how to get on a bed. Quite funny, but a sign on the amount of exposure to things he simply did not.
Day 2. Bring a friend to dog house, which consists of 5 adults roommates (she, her husband, dog lover, cat lovers, animals and dislike) more, my friends daughter 10 months. It is a busy place, but just ZARK clumbered on the couch and fell asleep. Later in the day, we take the PetStore, where he meets a lot of dogs, but it takes a golden opportunity that got to close to his face. Later, we go to the Annex "special needs dog park", which is closed this section of the dog park so that he can run a little. Much to my nerves, pressures dog lover roommate letting us go in the largest park with other dogs (this is before we knew how to present his attack by a dog was) he did fine, for the most part ignored the other dogs and even played. friends of the bridegroom meets dog, and he really likes him. (We were worried and called his new partner in progress)
Day 3.
ZARK will run with her husband, but is confused and frustrated husband and falls back in.
ZARK goes to dog park and play with all dogs.
ZARK bites my boyfriend because (IMHO), he was mute, he blew in his face Zarki, and when ZARK did not respond, he gets closer, what eyecontact direct, and low and behold, snaps and ZARK starts barking (while he uses me a bed) friend made eye contact again, and ZARK continues to bark.
** Time passes like sleeping ZARK **
Husband flies around the baby in his hands and barking ZARK.
Husband playful stroking the belly of babies and barks ZARK.
** Time passes, has ZARK **
The bridegroom is the evolution Diper babies and ZARK is on the sofa bed. The husband leans away from ZARK while getting a wipe and Lanches ZARK on the couch and push buttons to the husband.
and now we're all very confusing.
ZARK shows no aggression toward infants.
So. Whats happening in the head Zarka?
More importantly, should we worry about the child?
Are there just too much to do with him and all these new things?
Should I go to WI to me, where I live with a roommate and a large (bid) to get the dog acclimated?
sorry for spelling errors - tried to fix it.
