    His signs of aggression could all be stressed related. He could also have enclosure issues where he felt trapped and therefore felt like he needed to protect himself. He didnt bark much today! He obeyed the bark collar.

    I hope he turns out to be a good boy and this was just his displacement! He's such a sweet boy! And very easy to handle! He's a very soft dog and doesnt take much to correct pulling on a lead.
    Lucky, this is great news. I hope all works out well for him and he finds a forever home very quickly. :)

    Me too! I'll post a pic of him once we get his picture taken for the website. He looks kind of rough right now, skinny with a very sun bleached coat, but can definitely see he'll turn out to be a pretty dog.

    That's great news!
    So the problem was just he didn't like being in the pen?

    I'm not sure if that was his issue, or if he just took a real long time to adjust.

    He may not have wanted to be alone! Even though when he first arrived, he attacked another dog, which is how he ended up alone.

    Its real hard to say..

    Here's the human emotion! Maybe he knows this rescue is his last chance! Lol

    I hope he made the change for the better and that its permanent!
