He had to learn how to walk on a tiled floor and how to manoeuvre around a door curtain....and he's doing fine now.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-3905472025424519562013-12-17T06:29:03.636-08:002013-12-17T06:29:03.636-08:00Sounds like a big job.

Or was she left on her own a lot? <br /><br />When I first started walking Rocky he was aggressive towards other dogs, because he wasn't taken for walks so didn't meet any, and didn't know how to behave when we met them. He is fine now. They need to socialise with humans and other dogs, so keep doing what you are doing. When you meet other dogs ask the owner if it is ok for them to meet. Do as you did with Skye, as often as you can. It will come right. <br /><br />Good idea to keep a door shut between Mia and Bonnie, you don't want Bonnie to leave home. Introduce them gradually, don't leave them alone together.

It took a while but we got through it. It's a learning period for dog and owner, don't you think, John?

She seems to be doing remarkably well for such a short time. It is good that you have such patience. How nice that EBD Jodie is helping too. Mia will feel like family in no time.
