I would have to agree with someone else who suggested getting down on the floor with him. He may not have been socialized very well as a young puppy and now with all the other dogs in your home he is just becoming part of your pack. Food is always a good way to work with a dog. Maybe give him small tasty treats from your hand while you are down on his level. He will identify you as part of his pack as you do this. As he becomes more comfortable with you try picking him up more. Hold him for a minute or two and then put him down. Maybe walk around a little with him as you talk to him. The more interaction you have with him the more the wall will come down. Patience and persistence will do the job. |
