Brit, since you got Jackson at only nine weeks, I'm guessing he didn't come from a knowledgeable breeder. Puppies need lots of human contact and handling in those early weeks to grow up to be properly socialized adults. Was he raised in a kennel instead of home raised?
It's sounds like you have done a wonderful job of socializing Jackson since you've had him. He may just not be able to overcome his shyness with strange people. |
