My wife and I have a 7 month Lab/Hound mix who we recently adopted from a foster center. He is very reactive, but in the sense that every little thing terrifies him. When home, he listens to his name and understands basic things like come and leave it. However, when we leave he will bark and howl for a very long time due to anxiety I presume. We have a crate for him and try to make it as comfortable and nice for him as possible, but he is usually scared to even go near it if we are standing out of fear that we will close him in. Finally, on walks he will not pay any attention to us whatsoever no matter if we hold a treat to him, make noises, or call his name. He just pulls very hard and tries to run the walk. We just need some serious help to put us all in the right direction with raising our new pup.
