Hello all,
I adopted a rescued Pit, 2 yo female, very timid about 6 weeks ago. She paces indoors almost all day long if allowed. She gets about 40 mins/day exercise, husband and I home most of the time so she's seldom left crated and alone, but she walks from room to room over and over and over. Not only is this difficult to live with but she can't be very happy.
She is also certain that I'm out to get her but loves my husband who babies her and provides little discipline. I'm consistent and matter of fact with her, preferring to reward good behavior.
I'd love some input and advice.
Sara
