Boo seems to be doing ok. I still need to tell them about the advice that was giving here. We were at their house this weekend but I didn't really get a chance to talk to them about Boo. My sister in-law,her boyfriend and kids were in for the weekend. So it was pretty hectic weekend.

When I seem him he did seem to be doing fine, except for the fact my sister-in law's little boy and her boyfriend's little boy were picking on him. They were blowing in some kind of straw or something making him bark.

He will get worse not better and he will really attack them bad or someone visiting or a small child. they need to get help immediately. they are not good owners in allowing this to go on without asking for help and getting it.
I'm not going to argue and say it is not going to get any worse. But I really do not see them going to a behaviorist because, they are the sort of people that believe in it.

And I really Do Not appreciate you calling them bad owners. They really care about the dog they treat him like a child (so that could be alot of the problems), They let him get away with alot of things. They have trained him the best they could, they take him to the vets,feed him good food and everything.

Besides we live in the part of the state that does not have anything far as behavorist and such. If they did try and wanted to find one. More then likely they would have to drive 5 or more hours away. Which is not really that bad of a thing I guess if the dog really needs to be seen by a behavorist. I just don't know if they would be willing to do that or not.

The best I can do for them is tell them about some of the advice on what to do.

Yes, he does have toys of his own to play with. He is just bad about picking other things up.
