Hey everyone. Me and the fam just adopted a 7-8 month old puppy from the humane society 5 days ago. Shes a small Pitt mix. Not my first bully, or dog.
Shes having a rough time, don’t blame her. We have to crate train and she does well at night, not so well during the day. I come home at lunch and let her out and play with her. We’re seeing how she does out of the crate tonight to relieve some of the tension of being crated all day.
I’m having reservations. I mean, my stomach hurts. Constantly. She’s aggressive with my cats, and I hate seeing them miserable. I’ve fostered and I’ve had dogs before but this one is getting to me bad. Need some help if I can get some feedback:
-
How do you gate in a dog that is like a little antelope? Looking for options outside of the crate to learn to trust her.
-
did your puppy finally get along with cats?
-
am I ever going to feel like I’m not going to implode? I thought an older puppy would be easier but I skipped straight to the terrible teens ffs.
I’m trying to get more info to help me out from the rescue and the previous foster. I’m pissed they didn’t cat test appropriately and worried.
