I took in the family dog. My mom want him to come visit but I'm worried about stressing/confusing him..
My dad wanted to get rid of the family dog because of his barking. He was going to send him to a shelter, but I took him in because I didn't want to see him go to the shelter.. I just moved out of my parents last month, so I'm not even fully settled in.
It's his secind day here.. hes constantly whining and barking, waiting by/staring at the door. He whines THE MOMENT he's not being pet, he will whine non stop until being pet again. (He's usually like that, but it's worse now) .
I know not to rush it, and to be patient with him, and to make sure he's comfortable. I'm going to do my best for him and do more research. (Any tips would be appreciated, I'm a first time dog owner)
But the thing is, I work at my parents house. I go over every weekend. My mom wants me to bring him over to visit when I come over for work. I agreed at first, but now I'm worried that bringing him back every weekend is going to really stress him out. At least for the time he's settling in..
Also, he has an appointment to get his shots next week, and my mom wants to take him, and have him stay over that night, and bring him back to my place the next day. I'm worried about that confusing him and stressing him out.
What should I do? Should I tell my mom to wait a few months? I'm worried bringing him.back and forth, even if just to visit. Will cause him to stress out, and take him even longer to settle into his new home.
