taming the wild beast
#2
I have a three year old that I got at 10 weeks. He was a twin and I got his brother too. He never really socialized with me. I think he was so well bonded to his twin that I never had a chance. I have one that is absolutely buddied with me.

I still pack him even with the bad attitude. I can always lure him with peanuts. And once he is packed, he does great just because he is part of the herd. So you may not be able to depend on him as a primary packer, because you need at least one that will stay with you, but he may be an acceptable part of the herd.

Perhaps with a whole lot of time you could over come it, but I think starting with a bottle baby is a whole lot easier.

I think the big error was that he was forcibly weaned when I got him, and I should have put him on a bottle instead. I may have had a better chance.
