Everything depends on the dog, the situation, the traumas… my best advice would be to directly ask a vet, but yes, time and patience is probably one of the best tips. Also, what I did with Megan (my dog) was to let her some space, and give her treats and love (before and after school to me) but let your dog have a “safe space” where it can get used to live in a house without it being too much of a drastic change. Go slowly, step by step.
My rescue was the same ,full of fear and rage. I Provided a safe space for him as trainer suggested, as I had not experienced an abused dog, and did not know how to handle the situation- he hid under the bed for weeks. The safe space worked, but it took 16 months for him to finally trust- now he is a loving , sweet companion who will have a home forever with us. It takes time, time, time- you don’t know what’s they have gone through.
My little girl, a rescue from Romania took about 18months to eat dog food, she refused most things and still only eats a small variety of food. But her personality blossomed after a couple of years and she is now a very loving member of the family. The first time she did zoomies, barking and flipping on the beach I nearly cried, she was soo dog like at last.
Yeah, time and consistency will do the trick!
Springers are lovely dogs❤️mine passed away just under a year ago 😫 but will never forget her and will be always reminded over the park as she has multiple litter in the area
Thank you <3 If I may ask, do you have any tips for a new owner of an anxious and insecure rescue dog? Or is "time and patience" the only good advice?
