My little boy was like that too and was very shy as a puppy. We spent alot of time working with him and exposing him to new things. Now he is such a lover boy. He wakes me with a little kiss (or a million) every morning and will come to cuddle. He comes to check with me throughout the day and sit nearby but likes to cuddle on his terms. He still is a shy outside the home but loves to go for a walk or bye bye in the car. He is cautious of strangers, will smell and greet them but will back away if they try to pick him up. I'm OK with that - no one else needs to be picking him up.
