LOL!
Scent hound versus Sight hound.

I’ve read the advice given by others and really, I’m not even needed here.
It’s all been good and someone even gave you the “ignore” tip which is great.
Keep in mind that this is probably the first time in his life he’s ever had so much human interaction.
Hounds are generally thrown outdoors and ignored until the next hunt..if there even is one.
he’s going through a late stage ‘puppy phase’ with all the new attention, stimulation and affection.
Eventually he’ll learn that all the wonderful things he’s experiencing are *not* going to stop or go away, suddenly.
Like a starving thing, he’s getting all this emotional ‘food’ and naturally, he’s going to try and ‘eat’ everything at once.
Be patient and _low key_ with your praise and rewards and he’ll learn that your love is forever and not something that may vanish without warning.
I feel so sorry for dogs who grown up without all the usual joy most other dogs take for granted.
Right now, we’re over the moon with our new pup who’s just 3 months old.
Every day I look forward to what new things she’ll come up with to make me laugh and I always try to make this day even better than the last.
Last night she decided to pick up her empty bowl and parade it around the room to let me know she wanted more.
I think you two are gonna be just fine.

I decided to come back and re-review this thread and offer some updates. This post of yours is very appreciated, it was very powerful and as I sit and reflect on it, Buford has really become attached to me. I think that he is starting to understand that he has a furrever home!
I have to admit that I have taken to telling people that he is a “whiner-reiner from ethopia!” He is very communicative with the whining when he wants to run and he still thinks he is about to keel over from starvation!
