They don't know what to do with him:(

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.


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.

Tina,

I just wanted to let you know that Carrie, that has posted to
this thread IS a CERTIFIED Behaviorist. If the dog's owners do
do "take" the dog to a specialist, you can give them Carrie's
suggestions for free. They really should start back to the basics
with this dog & re-build a different relationship with him.

This really sounds more complicated to read than to carry out in
practice. I wish you the best of luck in helping them & the pooch.

p.s. I am very curious to know how the dog's family acted when the little boys were teasing the dog? Did they stop the kids?
