Advice Needed

[pearl87 3]

Its a matter of trust , just go about your normal business in a calculated , manner, dont make sudden movements or gestures towards the dog and if your mood is a bit off, stay away from the dog, the more nervous the dog the more they can pick up on negative vibes, When you feed it place the bowl a yard in front of you and just sit down on the ground dont call it or gesture the dog will eventually come to smell or eat the food , remain silent and still just read a book or something. The dog will eventually accept you being around the bond is something that will come at the dogs own pace , Be patient and dont try to teach anything at all until the dog is comfortable being around you, the basics will have to wait until the bond of man and dog is there once that is established then the commands and recall are not that difficult to instill.

Id forget about any training of the dog,for now,control any of your actions that cause the pup distress,let it seek its confidence zone and work from the pups strengths.I find nervous pups fare well if given to the kids to socialise with.Most pups gain confidence as they mature,some don,t.Id not be to worried as yet,the next few months will possibly reflect the youngsters hidden nature.
