You wanted to know what not normal was and I gave you examples. There are plenty of animals that are not going to be normal after they were abused. Perhaps instead of being an asshole on here all the time, you should donate your free time to helping abused animals. It would actually amount to something.  |
I currently have three Rottweilers so I'm all full up on animals.
One of the females I got at 9 months old. Raised voices or worse yet, the site of someone's hands (not even raised) would send her in to a panic. She'd drop down on her belly, burry her head as best she could and tremble with fear.
She doesn't do any of that anymore, and is more or less a normal dog other than some medical issues (Addisons disease) that can cause funny behaviour related to stress. The reason she isn't afraid of those things anymore is because they've been conditioned back out of her. Loud voices and peoples hands are now associated with relaxed feelings, food and affection and not abuse and fear so they don't scare her one little bit. She's one of the friendliest dogs I've had now, loves everyone. It just takes patience and most importantly knowledge.
