is very timid and spooks easily, but is adopting well. He is glued to my wife for security. Certain noises like a vacuum scare the living hell out of him. We have to be careful. Eli is registered and pure
bred. It happened when he was very young. Helix will be fine. It takes time.
Wouldn’t even think of giving up on him. I had a behavioral therapist out and she thinks he was a puppy mill dog. He will let me offer him other food and we are showing him that he will always have his food at scheduled times. I feed him in the kennel if someone is here, so I can close the door if he gets possessive. He did bite me one day on the foot when I was trying to push him away from the neighbors dogs food.! He would never let anyone near me or hurt me, he is a great guard dog.
