| Milo Being Scared Hello Everyone!! I Had Milo all together for 3 years now, the first year i got him he was with me until i had to work 2 jobs and couldn't give him the attention he needed. He stayed with my mother and step dad for 2 years. Now when i had Milo he was super friendly and out going and wasn't afraid to say hi to anyone. But now since i have him back he will not do anything or go to any MALE when i am not there. He lives with my bf and i and my bf tries to play with him and he walks him and all but he still afraid of him. When i am around he wont leave my side, he is every where i am. I think its bc i left him once and he is afraid i might leave again. But i dont understand why he so afraid of just men in general, hes playful when i am around but when i am not all he does is wait by the door until i get home from work even tho my bf is home with him. My bf will call him but he would just stare and go back to waiting by the door. Do you think something happened to him at my moms house? Was he Abused ? |

Yes, and No... Yes....they raised him totally differently than he would have been raised with you...maybe intolerance for what dogs do.....you just do not know and never will really. No......abused??? What one considers abuse, another considers "correction" or "training"..... From what you have described, I have it in my heart and mind that perhaps your father was the least tolerant of the pups behavior/presence, and your mom was more tolerant and did more with your baby. I have a breeder, Kara, that has always been terrified of me....I have had this momma now for 12 years, and she goes absolutely slobbering, ravenous crazy if a man comes into the room she is in....that includes my son, who just can not understand how he has loved on her for 12 years and she "clearly hates his guts" he says. She was clearly abused by the male owner/breeder that had her before I bought her from them.....and she has NEVER gotten over it. She absolutely detests men, all men, any man, and she will freeze in sheer terror if a man picks her up, trying to befriend her....she wont bite, snarl or growl, she freezes in terror and looks in desperation for me to "save" her..... We have tried everything we can think of and she has been imprinted, by the time she was 2 years old and before I bought her, by this horrific terror she has of men.....will not work thru it....all I can suggest is super kindness and gentleness and understanding on the part of your bf....maybe if he continues to handle and FEED her, she will warm up to him...when sitting around at night watching TV, let him hold her some of the time.....let him give her some treats out of the clear blue, while you are just sitting around.....she will associate that will nothing but pure kindness on his part, not "payment" or "reward" for her doing something.....hope it works out better for your bf and your baby...just be patient.......something to try...right before you get to the house, call and let bf know you are coming home....he can scoop up the pup and tell baby thery are both waiting for momma to get home, while he holds the pup.....then they can BOTH greet you at the same time!!!! Make it a great game, a FUN time!!! Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 09-23-2015 at 01:20 PM. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Depends....did they "punish" him somehow when he did something wrong? Some people still think it's fine to hit dogs and/or punish them...
