My Sasha is the exact same way. She'll be 3 in August, we've had her for a little over a month now, and she was also a rescue. She loves me, and she's good with my kids, but my DH she just doesn't like! She runs out of the room when he comes in, and hides and shakes and will bark at him if he gets close to me or our 5 month old. lol. My DH would pretty much ignore her in hopes it'd get better, but it didn't. So instead I had him get some treats and I put her harness and leash on her, sent them out the door and said "go for a walk!"
She didn't like this very much, and there was some dragging involved, but after a little bit she did walk with him, and got rewarded for doing so. After this short session, and her having to be around him because of the 3 day memorial weekend of him not at work, he sweet talked her and she actually came up to him as he was sitting down and he got to pet her. She's still nervous around him, and will hide near me if he's around, but not as bad as she was. I'm thinking more walking sessions and treats will help.
Every dog is different so idk if this would be good for your baby, but it's helped us! |
