He'll whine and paw next to me while I'm working at the computer. He'll whine and bark at me if I'm fixing dinner. But as soon as I lean down to pet him, he's bobbing and weaving and untouchable. If I get close enough to pet him, he's going for the hands. I can't groom him without him trying to eat the brush CONSTANTLY. I can't wash him without him trying to leap of out the sink. What are we missing here? We can't afford any kind of training right now, not until I go back to work in a few weeks. How much of a problem do we have here and how can we fix it? I just wanna petand hug my doggie again...  |
First, how old is he? Second, this is a new behavior? When did it start? Was there any particular incident that may have happened at the time? Did someone maybe scare him or something? If so, it may just be a trust issue.
My Sassy has slept with me since I got her. Then, all of a sudden, she wanted to be down on the floor. I just couldn't figure it out. I wondered if maybe I had done something in my sleep that maybe frightened her. Sometimes she sleeps by my feet and maybe I moved and accidentally kicked her? You know...that kind of thing.
She finally came back to the bed but I had to keep getting up to get her and put her back in bed. I never did figure it out, but she is okay with it now.
