Just wanted to let everyone know he's coming right along. Almost 3 months here now and he's calming down on his aggression issues. He is the only one who has to ask permission to get on my bed but he sits very nicely at the side of the bed now waiting for me to tell him it's ok. He will not get on the bed in the go-to-work mornings anymore until I make it up and invite him. He does not eat until he sits/stays for me for at least one minute which means he doesn't scarf his food so fast nor beg me unmercifully. He has quit his earsplitting barking in the morning on the 4 a.m. first call and now knows go pee/poo command. He's still verrry needy and verrrry skittish but he is learning to trust me. He doesn't seem to need to be alpha anymore. No more fights. I still get growls from him when I shift his position on the couch or the bed but I'm using the Coco gentle finger on his muzzle tactic and it's working for him too. All in all, think he's gonna be fine! Now I need to get some weight on him. I hate the knobblies! According to my scale he's only 17 lbs. Too dang thin! Verrry small-boned pooch but his hips are showing and I don't like that at all.
