Okay sooooooo I get Maxx so my son can have a "best friend" but it's not working out, and I need help!! We've only had him for a week, so it might get better, I hope!! My son is very good with small dogs, my mom has chihuahuas and actually she just got a puppy, same age as Maxx. Damian fell in love with her and she licks his face and lets him hold her etc... so then we got Maxx so he can have a dog at our house that daddy & I like and aren't going to be allergic to dog hair all over the place.....yorkie it is!!! :0) My fav! Anyway sooooo Maxx seems to be terrified of Damian. My son hasn't don anything to the dog but try to pet him, and he always wants to hold him, but the dog won't cuddle with him at all, it's the weirdest thing. Maxx with be sitting with me, then Damian will come up & pet him while saying "nice touches", which is that I taught him, and Maxx he freak out and get up & run. So I need help, it's breaking my heart that my son wants to love Maxx so bad, any ideas on how to establish this "friendship"
