When a dog is adopted, they go through a "honeymoon period" where they are adjusting to the new environment. It lasts about 2 weeks until they finally realize they live there and you will see a change it behavior - it could be for the better or for the worse. I think with consistent training and work with Sheeba, she would settle down and learn some manners. She needs to have a firm, loving hand and know a routine. I honestly don't feel it would take too much time to turn her around. She's still so young and as you say, she's sweet. I don't think she's been given enough adjustment time.
Oh, so very true. Millie HATED men at 1st too. All it took was TIME. And she's 3+ years old!
Ash, just please stop getting these dogs and then getting rid of them when they don't work out. It's just not FAIR.
How would you like to live in an orphanage, get adopted and get sent back all in one week because you were AFRAID of your new dad???? I'm sorry, but your family doesn't need a dog. None of you are responsible enough for it.
