How to help an abused dog

Always care for the dog as much as possible, but especially go out of the way to show it love during the first three to four months. Dogs, if abused when they were young, grow up thinking that they are always in trouble or in for a beating.

Get to "know" the dog, its likes, dislikes, and fears. You have no way of knowing the troubles the dog went through as a puppy. Keep the environment low-key and don't favor your other pets. Jealousy will make adjustment more difficult.

After 3-4 months, let the dog explore your property. You don't want to let the dog go wherever he wants to in the beginning. He might think you are abandoning him. Be sure that you are with him outside and DO NOT LET HIM RUN AWAY!!
