Have a thread going on getting terrified new pup out from under car.
He is 14 weeks and I am getting the feeling that he is just too late to settle. A friend has one of his sisters and she is fab but they have had her for7 weeks.
Ours is just as terrified of us as when he arrived even though we spent the day trying to gain his trust. We were really hopeful and he had come as close as to sniff my slippers this evening.
Just now DH suggested I try to gain his trust a bit more with sliced sausage. He took a few pieces from the floor and then 2 pieces from my hand. RESULT!
Then I put some leading into his basket and sat down on floor a bit away from it on his level.
He growled at me and then bared his fangs.
Am I right in thinking that his temprament is just too nervy to be with children?
