be aware she might have triggers that cause fear or even aggression. go slow with her but don't baby her. i would take her to a training class so you can bond with her and she can learn that you are not going to abuse her, but care for her and also that she needs to respect you. dogs live in the moment and she will be a happy well rounded pet if you take your time, and be consistant with her training and have her checked by a vet, since her previous owners probably didn't care enough to do so. good for you for giving this dog a good home.

If a dogs is saved outdoors, it HAS to have a seem after from the climate! that's a bylaw (or that's the place I stay)... i might actual call and make an nameless grievance on your interior reach SPCA. they're going to go and inspect, and could get rid of the dogs in the event that they locate that's being abused, plus they might maximum possibly placed a restraint on the owner, to no longer enable him to have animals for a definite quantity of time. i realize it is going against your mothers and fathers desires, yet I truly have seen some terrible situations of long term abuse stated too previous due, simply by fact human beings did no longer decide directly to get entangled. in simple terms think of..you are able to desire to be saving the animals existence!

not much you can do. First of all, make sure that you report the people that actually abused her. No one should be able to get away with abusing an animal. Make sure to be gentle with her, and give her special attention. Don't however, give her treats for no reason, or to make her stop doing something. You can help her get over her past by trying to work with her. Just remember, don't get frustrated or impatient. What she went through was probably a traumatizing experience for her.

What kind of abuse?
How is she acting?
There are a lot of factors to consider that will determine the best way to work with her and gain her trust. Most, not all, dogs with abusive back grounds can be worked with and lead happy and healthy lives. Some, like one I got from someone who bragged about beating her, had to be put down after I worked with her for 2 years...she just couldn't be trusted because she was far to messed up from what she endured.
Please visit my website and take a look around. I offer email consultations at a reasonable price, and I have plenty of experience with scared/fearful and aggressive/dominant dogs, and I would be happy to help guide you through this, and help you work with your new dog to help her have the best chances of success...

Give her alot of love and attention. Try not to talk loudly to Luna and give her alot of praise when she is good and offer her treats. Try to find out what abuse she went through and make sure she doesn't go through it again and keep that mean man away from her. He should be abused!!

Your dog has survived a terrible experience-he is special "TREAT HIM THAT WAY"Animals that have been abused need lots of love and patience but on the other hand they have a lot of love to give.Just a lot of attention,understanding and spoiling will do just fine and I think that you are on the right track! Good Luck!

Hey it will take a while and lot of patients. The dog will never be the same as if you got her as a puppie, and gave her all the love she need then. Even if she grows to just you. She will most likely alway want to be left alone.

Take Luna to some classes that will help her to trust humans, try not to be harsh with her and reward her for things she has done that you like. Slowly she will become aware that you don't want to hurt her and she will open up to you.

It may take some time for the dog to get comfortable with you because he has lost his trust toward people. When he see you he see the people who used to beat him. Just be patient, give him another chance to have a good life. Trust me, you will love the way he turns out....

You treat her like any other dog, with respect & gentle but assertive training.
Show her you are her leader so she doesn't need to feel worried or concerned.
If she has some behavioural issues due to the abuse then you should seek assistance from a Behaviourist.
