Tyler does this too, but he IS from a rescue. I don't think it's necessarily fear, just how you reach for them (like I read a couple posts up) I know that if Tyler backs away from me, if I get on my knees and hold out my hand he'll come over by me and let me pick him up. I think sometimes when he puts his head down it's a sign of respect- kind of humble like. It's just weird to see them shrink back sometimes when you know they've never been hit. |
