My 8 months old puppy broke his leg 3 months ago. I was visiting my family back to France , and my dog was trying to climb the stairs in my parents house but couldn’t. So I went to help him out but my mother was just telling me that I was a bad owner and my dog needs to be by himself and learn. I wasn’t confident and too scared he could hurt himself but my mother kept insisting and making me feel bad so I decided to teach him and put him back on the stairs he got scared and jumped and broke his leg. His scream horrified me and I am still traumatized because I didn’t want him to be in the stairs but did it anyway because my mother was criticizing me so hard. I still didn’t forgive myself and feel like I forced him when he was being scared just to make my mother happy. What a shame ...
Thankfully his leg has fully healed so the vet said he is good to go but I am scared to let my dog run and that he will injure himself again.
The vet said to take it easy at first but I don’t know what it means !! Every time he runs I am scared now .. plus since his surgery he has changed. Before he broke his leg he was very friendly open never bark at other dogs people or bikes or cars , but the day after he broke his leg he was barking at everything. He is very reactive to everything after his surgery was done.
I keep trying to train him but nothing seems to work. I can take him for walks without being scared ! Any advice for his leg recovery and behavior ? I am starting to loose my mind because he was a perfect puppy well behaved I could take him everywhere but now seems like he has no confidence and is scared of everything..
