Aawww - I have to admit, I got a bit teary when reading this - specially to hear how well you little chappy is doing (yes, I am a woos!)

Good on you for taking all the wonderful advice and really putting it to use, looks like it has worked a treat.

Now all we need is some photo's to go with the story! :rolleyes: (Probably need to take them in secret :laugh: )

Coming in late on the update - but just had to say congratulations, Roody. :rofl: Jackson is sure one lucky little pupper to have found an owner who is prepared to work with him, and give him time to come out of his shell and show you what his true personality is.

Sounds like you're doing a fantastic job - and it's great that you're seeing results quickly - very heart-warming.

sounds like this guy had absolutely no human contact except for feeding. How come he was four months when you got him? Im really glad you are going well with him and you are doing the right thing. Goldies are very resilient and forgive and hopefully forget gradually. He will forget his past life as he is still young.

He'll get there, he unfortunately didn't get the human socialisation at the right time when he was very young.

Have no fear it will come right, just don't force it, let puppy approach and initiate contact.

I have a 12 month old foster dog here that took 4 weeks to come out of his shell.

Hi, I'm also new to this thread and it just breaks my heart to hear about your puppy. I have a 10 month golden and she is outgoing and cheeky! You have got some brilliant advice here. Just speak softly and move slowly around him. Your puppy is lucky to have someone so dedicated to him and he will pay you back with lots of love in the coming years. Good luck and hope to hear more about how he is going.

Hi to all.

I am so sorry that I have not been reply to everyone. I have tried numerous times to load up some photo's of Jackson, but the system keeps telling me that they are to big for this forum.

I can tell you that Jackson is coming along very well. He now plays with me and other friends that come to our house. He loves playing fetch, however he doesn't want to give the ball back all the time. I allow him to sleep on the end of my bed over the weekends and he really looks forward to that. He is coming up to his 7month bday on the 2nd December.

Generally he has definitely come a long way since the first day I got him home. And I would really love to thank all the constructive advice that I received from this forum, it helped me so much. Thanks.

I would like to ask however, what is the best way to teach them to go onto a lead. I tried once and he went absolutely stupid, and therefore I am hesitant to try again cause he would not come anywhere near me for 2 days. I was worried that I had scared him. So if anyone has some advice for me I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks - and if anyone can tell me how to get my pics on here that would be great.

Hi Roody, you could try putting a light lead on him and just letting it drag on the ground until he becomes used to it being there. Give him lots of praise and treats while putting it on and when he is relaxed with it on. Always supervise though so there are no accidents. Eventually try picking it up, dont lead him but just pick it up and treat him for being relaxed. Then when he is comfortable with this i suggest just following him around while you hold the end, with lots of praise and treats. Once hes ok with this maybe call him to you with your happy happy voice while you have the end and treat, if he doesnt come try gentle pressure on the lead but dont pull as such. Treat if he comes and make a huge fuss. So you get the picture? Take it slow step by slow step, eventually try walking away while you have the lead and calling and PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE(oh and treat LOL). Im no expert trainer but i hope ive given you some helpful advice that works. Good luck and well done for coming so far with him.

it sounds like you have made so much progress thats fantastic news congratulations.

his tempermant is about to start to move into the maturity phase over the next few months, toughen up to indicate adult tempermant, so all this great work youv done will be complemented by nature and he could be a normal happy dog ! :laugh:

i agree with the others, i want to see photos now now now lol

why not try photobucket.com.

it is free to register. once you do, you can upload a photo, and they will provide you with a link which you can copy and paste when your composing your post here in dol. its easier than i make it sound trust me. edit: use the link when you do.

oh and also might i add, i WISH i my dogs would enjoy the bath and not move heaven and earth to try and get away !! how the heck did you manage that ?
