I send my grateful thanks to those who have taken the time to answer my post as the answers given make me realize my little man is normal and this is a great relief to Joan and I.
I do get dow2n on the floor and play attempt to play with him but without the other three he will run off and hide.
If the other three are playing he will join in as he love to tug on soft toys.
If I have a toy in my hand he will play tug as long as I do and he can give as good as he gets from the other three.
He just does not like being touched and we are working on it but there is no way I am going to force him I will encourage but will not force.
I now look forward to him doing the "U" turn as he is loved so much by both of us.
Thanks again to all who took time to answer my question.  |
Joey was a lot like that and cheerios given as a treat after grooming or holding helped him get use to being held. Cheerios are a nice treat for puppies because they are small and not calorie dense, dogs love them, use the unsweetened kind. They are a life saver at bath time. I think you have a great attitude and I'm glad you know not to force him, but to encourage. I wish all parents would learn this!
