I don't think I'm going to try it again.This is the fifth week of training and it is only getting worse. He does everything else great.Sits when I stop and is learning all the hand signals.Everything else is great. He is scared of the hot air ballons that fly over our house,maybe this tunnel reminds him of those.

Melody, we have a rescue and fostered one. When we got Clancy, we took our other dogs to meet him. There were NO issues when they met. When we got home, our alpha dog (who was a real nurturer) just gave him a 'look' and Clancy dropped the toy he had in his mouth. Ned, our other doodle, had an tousle of some sort the next day out of our vision and solved his place in the hierarchy. We fed him around the corner from the others and stood over him and took him elsewhere as soon as he was done so he couldn't wander in the direction of the other bowls. We also made him sit while we put the bowl down and then gave him a command that he could eat. If he got up and tried to eat, we lifted the bowl back up until he was 'released.' This also took up some of his eating time.Now, we had problems between our Springer Spaniel and Clancy over who was to be bottom vs next to the bottom rung on the ladder. They 'argued over toys - any that seemed high value we removed. Gordie tried to protect us from Clancy, so we stood up. We did not leave them alone together for a couple of weeks either. Basic settling in took a couple of months - I really worried that this was going to go on forevvveeerrr! We saw great progress at 2 weeks, even more progress at 6 months. After about 6 months, we returned some high value treats to the pack and just picked them up again if there was growling. After about a year, we could put anything down toy-wise. When we looked back after having Clancy for a year, we realized he really knew he was in his furever home and with his furever family. Just hang in there, be cautious, don't rush it, and it will happen. Not everyone has instant love - and I think most do NOT.

Adrianne Matzkin said… God of all creatures, ease our grief today as we bid farewell to Annabelle, whose
passing leaves a gap in our family circle. She demanded so little of us – fresh
water, food, a patch of sunlight for sun-bathing, our presence – and gave so
much in return – uncritical, undemanding, unlimited affection and devotion for
all of us.
Greeting each day, each moment, happily on its own terms, she showed us how to
live in the present rather than regret the past or worry about the future. Her
easy forgiveness of our flaws, her inability to hold a grudge, gave us an
example of grace.
Creator, we are grateful for being allowed to share her life for our allotted
time. We will miss her bounding through our family life, but she will always be
present in our hearts.
Amen.
