This dog was seize from a crack house and i took him under my wing. He was in a sad state when he came to me. He was terrified of people and animals including other dogs. He was 15 lbs under weight, covered in cigarette burns, had a broken rib, and had 2 bald spots on the top of his head because he had an untreated ear infection so bad that the bald spots came from him shaking his head and his ears hitting the top of his head. 3 months later, after much time spent on him, he is now loving life, loves other animals including dogs. Tries to play with everyone he passes. Loves people, bald spots are gone, ear infections gone, the cigarette burns are all healed and mostly covered over with hair again. Although still about 5 lbs under weight the Veterinarian gives him a full bill of health. He listens to commands like "sit", and "stay" but the one problem i cant seem to teach him is his new name. I or anyone involved in the seizure of this dog have no idea what his name is so im trying hard to get him to understand his name. It makes training him difficult when he doesnt know who im talking to. Im assuming a puppy would grow up with his name and just get it whereas this is an adult dog probably used to a particular name which nobody knows which makes it hard to give him a new name. Ive talked to trainers and others and all ideas have fail so i thought maybe someone in this clan may have an idea for me that i could try. Help would be appreciated.

What I do know is that I admire you for caring and taking time to give this dog a better life. You are to be commended. In fact you should get some kind of medal to add to your collection for something like community service.

Take the dog to where it is just you and him. Then when he isn't looking your direction say his name. Each time he makes eye contact after you say his name, give him a piece of hotdog. All my dogs purebred and strays have always learned their name within one session. Congratulations and kudos for blessing this dog with the love and safety he deserves.

And the commands he does respond to, say him name then also and reward him. Just take some patience and time and before you know, he will be the best dog ever. Give lots of love...poor guy got off to a bad start and no animal deserves that. **I guess now I have to take back all the mean things Ive said about you..

I guess ive have all along tried these things but if ive learned one thing from your comments it would be that I probably havent been consistent with the the rewarding for response. I guess i better buy pants with bigger pockets to carry more treats Im sure i can get him there with all your ideas, im amazed at how far this dog has come so far. From looking like he was at deaths door to and terrified if anyone moved to fast around him to happy go lucky and realizing he has a better life from the one he started out with. Oh and my kids named him Thurston. Black with a white bow tie like Thurston the butler. Im not to thrilled with the name myself but the kids are happy, thats what matter.

I do keep a little extra cautious watch over him especially with my kids just because of the breed. I am a firm believer that it is never the breeds fault but always the fault of the trainer. And since he has approximately 2 years of life before i got to know him, i dont know what he was trained/raised to be like but so far he has displayed nothing but a caring and loving temperment toward my kids (whom are teens) and others and I have yet to see any sign of aggression..
