My Harley does the exact same thing! He has never had a hand laid on him. He's never been dropped either. He'll jump on my leg to pick him up and when I reach down to get him he backs up super fast. I have started picking him up under his belly instead of by his front legs. So sometimes now he'll jump on my leg to be picked up and then he'll stand real still so I can reach under his belly and scoop him up. This site has really helped me to relax with Harley. Not to get over excited about everything. |
