My family - parents, 3 kids (10, 3.5 and 2.5)
My buddy's family - parents, 1 kid (5)
Tig raised by my buddy 10 mo old male CC he's 115lbs
Hazel raised by me 17 mo old female CC she's 78lbs and acts like an alpha
Tig's upbringing:
owners not dominant leaders
took food from kids hand or plate
not consistent with corrections
slept in kids bed since 8wks
praised for tug of war
in a crate from 6am to 5pm with no exercise/walks after released, last 4-6 mo no 1 on 1 time
very minimal dog interaction, basically just hazel
minimal obedience training
homebody cause their fence isn't finished
growls when buddys son gets close to him sometimes or plays just fine other times
All of this led up to his son getting 4 stitches in his cheek when tig went to grab a piece of candy
He's in quartine now. My buddy says he has to go. If I dont take him he's dead.
From my research he needs to learn he's below my kids in the pack order, handle any food aggression and socialize him (environment, my family and other dogs). I'm home alot since im self employed. I'm dominant...I don't play that BS of dogs running my house.
Should I leave him in the backyard for 2 weeks with my other dog to get used to the sounds and to break his thought of his last pack?
Basically isolation or exposure?
I plan to muzzle him when in the house until he learns his order.
Will hazel (my dog) help teach him the pack order?
Should I even try or just let him die?
