my husband and i have throught that he might of been abused because when we go to pick him up he goes into the dog fatal position.
he gets fed well, is totally healthy, a really loving dog and loves to cuddle. i want the best for my baby and hope that nothings troubling him.
so my question: is there anyway i can coax him out of this ? |
You may be right. That's so sad, but I think in time he'll come around. Have you tried playing outside with a sqeakie ball? Being outside might quash some of his inhibitions. Worth a try anyway. They just have to get past the fear of being abused.
