TOO BAD So he got a dog house and a teather,when he discovered she could reach the human house and lay on the porch swing on a cushion he rigged the teather so she could no longer reach the house. He put a plastic flap on the opening to the dog house to act as a windblock but she was afraid of it so shes been sleeping on the ground outside day and night.I had come to the conclusion that I was going to dog nap the dog. I didnt know how or when but that was my intention until I heard he was giving her to another employee.YEAH for her. Well he wasnt happy to know that she was coming here first for some sort of training. Crushed is my feeling in watching her interact with nothing. She didnt know how to play with ANY toy, she was afraid of the house,the food dish,the food,the water dish,a bath,the yard,the garage. She was afraid of human touch 
. My son told me that when she;d investagate anything she'd get smacked from behind and yelled at to get out of stuff. He also told me that she couldnt be house trained......not that shes ever been in a house. He also told me that when you approached her she would cower to the ground and pee all over the place. I was also told that BIL said she wasnt trainable and she couldnt be broke of pee-ing in the house=garage.update and questions on another post.this one is getting too long
She goes thru the doors but with a little hesitation. She investigates the yard sometimes with caution,sometimes none. She runs and jumps and flies. She wags her tail and jumps on my chest and gives me a passing lick and is off again. She lets me pet her today. I sat on the floor with her in my living room and just rubbed her chest. Today she discovered TIGGER, the bouncing tiger or Walt Disney, you push down on him and he talks an bounces and she loves him. She chased a tennis ball but retrieved a plastic pop bottle and loved it too. She got to be a puppy for the first time in probably months. My son wishes BIL could see her today. I hope she never has to see him again. Sad thing is .....he gave her away because He wants another dog...this time a guard dog. I like to say I hope it bites him in the a** but only the dog would suffer. Everyday that this girly does something new is a huge deal with us.I try to walk her on leash with some form of training for only 10 -15 mins aday. My DH has been extremely supportive in this too. But the new owner wants a hunter. She has wonderful hunting ability with a great sense of smell..but I worry about a gun being fired around her. She very strong and stubborn. Her attention span is pretty much none existant. :???:But shes young and I know in the right hands her memory will delete BIL and she'll be great .
That is the saddest story!!!! I can't believe someone would treat an animal like that!!!! It just dumbfounds me! I am glad you have her... wish you could keep her! Like you, I worry she will not like gun shots! If that loser BIL gets another dog.. please keep an eye out and report him! Where did he expect he to go potty if stuck in a garage?? 
Baffled.. thats what I am.. and a bit ticked! No animal or person should be treated with such ill will! That poor baby! Hopefully she will learn to trust people. I believe you are doing a fine job in that! Kudo's to you!!
