[Cooper2010]

He's really not a ball of energy. He a nervous little dog. Any little noise sets him off into a barking fit. When I try to pick him up, he tucks his tail between his legs. Honestly, if anyone were to evaluate him, they'd probably think he's been abused. That's not happened. He's just so nervy! I'm almost ready to ask the vet for a mild tranquilizer. He has no reason to behave the way he does.

When I call him, he actually runs from me instead of to me. I cannot let him off a leash outside, when I do it's like he doesn't even know his name. He won't even turn and look when he hears his name.
