11 month old bull terrier
I have had my bull terrier for 2 weeks now and he has been great for the most part. But since Friday he has been doing a few things I hadn't seen him do before, No.1 was Friday afternoon when I got home from work I let him into the house with me and he did a poo on the hall floor, he had never even tried to go in the house before and always goes on his walks which was great. No.2 is that he mouths a lot, always when we are playing and not agressively but when he is told "No!" he will still try.
This morning was the strangest behaviour, i went into the run I built him to top him up with food and water after his walk and before i went to work, when i put his food in his bowl he started to growl, I turned and firmly said "NO!" and he cowered away which i found strange, i softened my tone and called him over and petted him for a while before leaving but he seemed very out of sorts. just wondering could there be an issue from his previous owner?

#2 it would be helpful to know his origins and history.
#3 have you owned a Bullie b4? They are not the best at being left caged all day.
#4 it is unusual for any Bullie owner (worth being a bullie owner) to give up on a 10 1/2 month boy, one might assume that the previous owner never did a good job during the most critical 10 months his life, and you may have your work cut out undoing what has already been done.
Please give us a full resume of his daily life, exercise, antics, food and other dog and human exposure if we are going to be able to formulate any quality suggestions for you.
