He has urinated and defecated rather than obey, but that has seemed to stop. He is getting better at this "civil disobedience".

this is not of his choosing, ergo it is NOT 'disobedience'. It is extreme stress.

Sounds problematic ....it is not a good thing to leave a puppy in a crate all night then most of the day Is there a doggy daycare anywhere you could use? 

I have always fed chicken necks to pups - frozen , so they have to chew ...   they can't be just scoffed. Pick the biggest necks , and leave skin on . 
The problem with chicken necks is that they are the size/shape of a dog's oesophagus, and can cause choking. 
Small necks can be fed too - just hammer them to break them up , and make them soft like coarse mince .

Izzy is lucky to have such a caring person
I am wondering why the babies are crying - maybe she has not enough milk, or maybe they go to teats that are harder to suck from ???Are they warm enough? newborns usually just drink and sleep and make contented little noises.... Izzy is probably still getting used to everything , and is anxious about her babies - she has been thru a lot .  I also second what Tdierikx has said .

Oh - what a horible situation he was in   Pets in the Park do good things .

AR extremists tend to use the fact of sentience as animal feelings being akin to human feelings and emotions... anthropomorphising at it's finest, if you will.

"average 7.5 shots" (note that some took up to 15 shots delivered before death),

any hunter worth the name that cant bring down their target in one clean shot is mortified

 

Hence the hunters and shooters party calling the National parks and rspca out for cruelty over the brumby cull slaughter

It is a very INHUMANE way to kill any animal, brumbies, deer or pigs, donkeys or camels. 

oh, KTB - R I P Elbie - such a long term DOL dog, and a special boy .
Take care .

roll on 2027 !

The dog appeared to develop the problem at some point, rather than from birth, so some trigger must have happened.

Yes, I was also wondering. 
I am also hoping this doesn't encourage a vegan swing in dog feeding 

Interesting story !

my brother (who is legally blind) was given a dog by Seeing Eye Dogs Australia who was highly dog reactive. Every time it saw anther dog, it would launch at it... in what universe is that safe to guide a blind person around?

As a one time trainer of Guide Dogs - I shuddered! That is just so wrong  dangerous and NOT good publicity. That dog should never have been used.

One would think that in a highly populated are like Sydney, one would be able to find someone capable of accrediting her dog?
