4 weeks after adopting a 10 month old (now 11 month old) and I’m just not bonding with this dog at all. I felt prepared for the potty training and obedience training… but didn’t expect the separation anxiety, the reactivity to my young adult son, the aversion to my younger children (3 and 6). He’s doing “fine” but I guess I’m just wondering if this is normal.
I can’t go to the bathroom without a full scale barking fit. I can’t put my kids to bed because he has a panic attack being alone also doesn’t want to be near them. My older son doesn’t want to be around because the dog just barks at him non-stop and has started lunging at him. I had expected things to be better after a month.
