It took me by surprise, especially since we are wondering what happened to the "sedate" dog at the pound. :)

He does not know any commands, needs obedience training, so we're just watching him flipping out, full of all this energy, going, "O-kaaaaay. This is weird."

Right now he's in the crate for the night (second attempt - he escaped after 10 minutes the first time) and is crying and barking downstairs. I wonder how long this will last. :(

Aw, man. The first night is so hard. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 19:18 17
- So this will get better? -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 19:19 16
  - yes, give him a treat in the cage, try to - truman Nov 13, 19:23 9
    - also, I might suggest - truman Nov 13, 19:24 8
      - But if he has water in the crate, wouldn't that mean he'd pee in the crate a few hours later? - kelly Nov 13, 19:26 7
        
        how old is the dog? - truman Nov 13, 19:28 6
        
        I have left my dogs overnight without water, when it wasn't hot. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 19:30 1
        
        that is what we were told by the vet and a trainer - truman Nov 13, 19:32
        
        Not sure how old he is. Pound estimated his age at 7, but all the kennel techs said they'd guess closer to 4 or 5. - kelly Nov 13, 19:30 3
        
        aww, years or momths? - truman Nov 13, 19:31 2
        
        years. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 19:32 1
        
        place tiny words here -- nm - truman Nov 13, 19:47
  - Yes! One thing you might do is feed him in his crate, if there's room. He needs to think of his crate as his house. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 19:22 5
    - Wow. - kelly Nov 13, 19:24 4
      - can I ask, are you going to only feed the dog certain times of the day - truman Nov 13, 19:29 2
        
        Yeah, we'll be on a schedule. - kelly Nov 13, 19:30 1
        
        well, my only thought is this - truman Nov 13, 19:33
      - It's okay not to feed him tonight. In a perfect world, it would be great if you could take him out again, say 2-3 hours from now. You guys probably - mara Nov 13, 19:29
