He was never in the rescue so we are relying on what the owners have said. They are telling us he is good with dogs, but I can't see that he was socialized because they finally told us that he was walked twice a day and they crated. He has great manners but a lot of energy which is fine. I am working on that. When he gets crazy and starts nipping at us I make him go into a down stay until he gets the message that what he is doing is unacceptable. He is super smart and catching on. He jumped all over our counters when he first came to us and he doesn't do it at all now. I think there is hope.
Yeah I wouldn't consider 2 walks a day as socializing… Ugh I'm sorry that they weren't up front w/you about it. I know you can train him up to be a great addition to your family, and of course you have our support along the way!!! Good luck
