We've recently adopted/rescued an English Bully.
A little background for him:
He's called Mickey.
His old owners didn't call him by name and kept him outside.
He's a purebred bully. He's about 44 pound and he's the love of my life.
He's wonderful with the children. He's affectionate. And he's on a path to learning.
He's picked up a few basic commands so far, we have some issues just because he spent about 11 months as an outside dog.
( he's presently 13mo )
My confusion begins with what to feed him?
We've tried many a brand and he's still shedding excessively, vomiting and having skin issues.
He will recover from skin/fur/vomiting for the first few days of changing and then it starts all over again. I can't let him without practically wearing his coat.
He vomits a few times a day. And his skin will get better/worse like a yoyo.
I'm strongly considering the RAW diet.
How to stop nipping and mouth " play."
And how to get him to listen/hear me.
He's done really well figuring out the leash walking. Following me without the leash.
Getting in the car, come ( sometimes ) sit, paw and drop it.
He doesn't seem to grasp " wait", or any recall I say or try when other people or dogs are about.
He's charged at everyone and everything that comes around me or the children.
We've taken him to the beach ( which was fun until other people wanted to pass us )
We've played outside and at the park. And he charges and barks, it looks and sounds very intimidating. Enough to scare a couple he got all the way up to once.
I adore him. But we need help. C
