I can rough house Ben (my male yorkie) all day long, but Candy (my Jack Russell) is the one that will shy away if you barely bump her. She has been skitterish since day one. (I attribute that to getting her too young. ) So, I know what you are talking about. I don't know what to do to make them understand you would not hurt them for the world and only want to play fight over the toy. I guess, just build back up to it again. Poor little guy -- needs his confidence boosted. |
