We have an eight year old rescue entire German Shepherd
who has been living with us since January this year. He has settled in well at home, but we are now concerned that he
is showing signs of stress.
He moves his ears back when we stroke him, put his lead
on or approach him, and he used to pant a lot. He also constantly bites his dew
claws and sometimes his front claws. Is this also a sign of stress?
Should we get his dew claws removed? Or is it best to leave him alone and
hope it will all settle down?
Any advice or ideas will be very welcome.
