Sometimes dog's personalities are partially shaped by their breeding. This little guy may just be a dog that does not bond well except to one person. I wouldn't take it personally. Maybe just step back and take it a day at a time. If he is a nervous little fella trying to bond with him may actually make the situation worse. Try just interacting with him when you have to like at meal time and walk time. Some animals want to pick who they trust. If he sees you are trustworthy and dependable he may eventually decide to make friends with you on his own. I have found this to be true with dogs that have been on their own for while. You can't really convince them to trust you until they observe you for quite a while. |
