So we got a puppy off of Craig's list and every time we even go near her she pees so I finally looked up on why she does that...well it's because she came from an abusive family which makes sense because she is constantly hiding, knows she is wrong, and then if we would smack her she freaks at even if we just tap her...now I feel bad so hopefully we can fix it!

My dads dog was from an abusive home he was fine even up till he passed my recommendation is treats and try not to yell that was the only thing that freaked him out it takes time but I would refrain from tapping and just talk to the dog like it a baby use deep tone without yelling when reprimanding

I have a rescue dog that was from an abused home. They can be really challenging, but what helped us the most was taking training classes together. It established trust and a relationship and that has made all the difference. And like the previous poster mentioned, don't yell or tap/flick/get physical with them. Dogs don't really understand the difference between what their old family did and what you're trying to do, so it can really scare them and can set all your hard work back. Good luck! With out dog it has totally been worth every second of work we put in, he's turned out to be a great dog.
