if I can share experience and I am training right now one female mix saluki who has been abused (I guess) , my friend who foster her drop the dog 3 time week so she can be used to family life. the first 2 weeks the dogs was next to my main entrance door and was scared of everything (noise, maid, children, all new people) . I have my own rescued dog and she help me a lot to get out this dog (mix saluki) of her shell . my strategy for the first few days was to ignore the dog and to keep distance as anyway I could not touch her collar., she was growling.. . now she is my best friend but still lot of work as afraid of everything in the street especially gardeners. she is still afraid of children but I ask them to ignore her and to don't touch her. . but slowly and slowly I see an improvement. my son 9 years can cuddle her. with patience and love... everything is possible.. .. but I know we can not rehome her with some children. the family who will adopt her will need to be patient and to understand her issue.. . I am confident she will improve a lot.. . for your dog , you need to say to the children to ignore her until she get out of her shell.. , with time and love she will improve a lot.. , that s for sure... !!! good luck Thank you for sharing your experience - I've made mental notes for the future. My children are very young 1 and 3 yo - not quite at the age where you can tell them to be quiet and leave the dog alone (not that they bothered him but they did attempt to chase him mistaking his fear for an invitation to play). It was a vicious circle, frankly. I just pray he finds a good home because he is an angel of a dog.

The Vet Hospital in Al Quoz are very good with orthopedics. I took my dog there for advice and assistance with his funny back legs - they were very good. Would also advise this clinic as the one to go to. Thank you very much! Will give them a try.
