Oh! Yeah... Hiro STILL does this to me! It's so annoying!
Have you taught the 'SIT' command yet? VERY useful!
This way, at least you can try to get her to sit when you approach her.

I've heard some dogs get a little skiddish when you approach them from above... kinda loom over them. I've been trying to show Hiro that this is ok - he IS little afterall, and it's hard to NOT loom. I try and do this at random when we're standing together, I just loom over him lol and if he doesn't move, I give him a treat. Then I play a little with him, and do it again... and again..... and again.

Repetition and consistency is key
