Move slowly with purpose or assertively, talk in a normal tone of voice, but I think they can smell our anxiety, and Cesar just doesn't have any. So while I like Cesar, his tips only get me so far.
So when I find him scared in a corner, should I try to calm him down and distract him- even if he wants to head it to the hills? If I pick him up he will squirm to get out of my hands so he can run away..
