It's day 4 of Sam living with me here in the UK. A lot of the past two days have been taking up with cleaning up poop as he's got a very upset tummy. I've made him fast today so apart from - 1 scrambled egg this evening he's had nothing. This is not a situation he's happy about but until he sees the vet tomorrow am it's the best solution for now. I'd be more worried if he didn't want to eat.
His main issues behaviour wise, are what I believe, fear agression to other dogs if they show any excitement. Lack of socialising I would think but then being shut in a cage and starved wouldn't do much for one's emotional development. He's been fine with my friends lab x who's older and more sensible.
Also confirmed today (I'd had my suspicions already) is agression towards women and even children if they're wearing loose fitting dresses. Not so good but at least now I'm aware of it. So often it is men that these type of dogs ( hunting /german pointer) have problems with. I've told him that I'm going to get a lady who speaks to dogs so he can tell her what the problems are but he walked out of the room..maybe like me he'd rather not talk about it.
Every so often I see the dog that he can be..the lively happy clown who loves to fetch ball or the gentle expression when he's calm so I need to hold on to that. At a low point today after two days of clearing up I think. Where's Caesar Milan when you need him.
Thank you for reading..
