Sorry for the very late reply. Christmas and new year have been so hectic. I'm very please to say the Monty is doing so well. He's really coming out of his shell and is quickly becoming a very cheeky character. I can't believe he's the same dog from when we first got him and it really doesn't...

I'm happy to report that Monty is now drinking freely whenever he wants. Turns out he likes a metal bowl as that is what the foster carer used to use. I took him to the vet for a check up, just to make sure he wasn't dehydrated and he was given the all clear. He' coming along well, coming up to...

Monty is doing well, although he still doesn't eat unless it's night and we are all asleep. But at least he is eating. I am quite concerned about his lack of water though. As even if we come back from a long walk, up to three times a day, he still doesn't go anyway near his water, but when he's...

He's a miniature Pinscher cross. But not sure what he's crossed with. And he's one year old. I'm definitely going to get some Breakthrough. Little Monty needs some happy hormones. He's doing ok. He absolutely loves his walks, tail wagging and even jumping on me. And he even takes a cautious walk...

Yes I definitely think we need some professional help. To understand him better can only be a good thing going forward, as its new territory for us and we just don't want to end up making him unhappy. He won't take treats from the hand or even ones we drop near him. The only time he eats and...

Unfortunately we had an incident yesterday while I was at work, my mum went to take him for a walk and he absolutely hates the sound of the front door (which is very loud), mum wasn't ready properly and he wriggled out of his harness and bolted. It was my dad (who he's already so scared of) who...

No, unfortunately the foster carer couldn't give any information on this. He came from Cyprus. And originally went into a shelter when he got to England, he was bullied a lot by the other dogs and so he was moved to the foster carer. But as for his life in Cyprus I'm afraid we don't have info

He did have an accident today, but I just cleared it up without saying anything. I took him out in the garden for about an hour but no joy, he's still very nervous. The foster carer told me that I need to pick him up and hug him and stay with him outside and be reassuring and talk to him a lot...

Thanks gypsysmum, he ate all his food last night, under the cover of darkness! Lol, but I'm glad he ate something. Just have to worry about him going to the toilet now! I'll be trying the treat thing today, be nice to finally have him out his basket, in his own time I might look into getting...

Thank you for your responses. It's just worrying because he doesn't want to get up at all, for walks or food or even treats. He is so timid bless him. I believe the foster carer said he is a miniature pincher x. I know it will take time and patience. Guess being new dog owners makes it a little...

We just bought home a rescue dog yesterday. We know that he is a very submissive and nervous dog. He mostly lays in his bed in the kitchen and won't get up at all, and won't take any treats. Obviously it is all very new to him and the trust for us is not there yet. However we wanted to know if...
