[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this was so hard, OP. It shouldn't have been this stressful. We once got a rescue dog who had been in a terrible non-socialized environment who was also scared to death. All the advice wasnever raise your voice, be totally gentle, follow dog's lead. Well, the dog could not grasp walks and pooping and peeing outside not inside. I dutifully did all the things and just cleaned up mess after mess (and she had a difficult case of worms, did I mention that?). Finally, after a week or so of this, I lost it and yelled at her No! No! while cleaning up the mess. And, after that, she started to understand. It really did take one time getting 'punished' for her to get the concept. Boy that was a tough first week. Please don't beat yourself up too much. You have a pet, you know what it takes, you did things right, and this just wasn't the dog for you. sometimes it just doesn't work out. [/quote]
