We have just adopted a lovely, lovely dog rescued from the Bangkok floods last year. We already love him!
Prior to the floods he is thought to have been a wild street dog so he has never lived in a domestic setting.
He is very gentle around people, even new people coming into the house, but when we take him outside he goes completely beserk when he sees any smaller dog- straining on his lead to get to them, snarling and (if the other dog is off lead and comes near us) snappy too. He also sort of somersalts to try and throw off his collar and lead so we are really worried he will hurt himself doing this.
He is thought to be about 4 and has been neutered. What can we do to help him? (Also, he is doing very small wees against furniture as if marking his territory, so any advice on how to stop that also appreciated! We are washing the furniture down in biological washing powder solution, which seems to stop him returning to that item, but he just pees on another one). Thanks for any advice.
