We're considering adopting a dog from rescue, and we're finding (not
surprisingly) that just about all dogs that are available have one or more
problems. I'm wondering what people's experience is in dealing with
problems like:
These are typical problems of the adolescent dog, even one that you raised
to be perfectly well mannered as a puppy. Testing the boundaries and
limits is what an adolescent does. The things you describe are worked
through with consistency, patience, and a bit of time. On rare occasions
the car sickness may continue and in that case medication can help.
Usually, though, the prblem is a combination of physical immaturity and
anxiety, both of which are resolvabable.
