So about 3 years ago my girlfriend and I took in a little puppy (Red Heeler mix around 5 weeks old) that her mother found abandoned on a dirt road, and named him Jax. Jax was very shy and didn’t like being around people for a while after we took him in. As a full grown dog, he seems to have some really bad anxiety and anger problems. When I get home from work, he can’t stop wagging his tail in excitement. By bedtime, he literally will try to bite me if I get close to him. He barks CONSTANTLY and seems like he can never just calm down. I’ve tried everything, being harder on him for his bad behavior, and also being very understanding. After years he doesn’t seem to have calmed down. Well now we’re expecting a baby around the beginning of May. Idk how to make this work with him and a baby in the same house. His constant barking and needing to be up in everyone’s business is a worry. It would absolutely break my heart to have to give him away or even just make him an “outside dog”. Even when he’s mean to me I’d still give my life for his. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get him calmed down?
