Hello everyone! As I posted before my Yorkie puppy will only let me touch him, we have had him for two weeks, he is 19 weeks old. I have contacted a dog trainer to see what more I can do to better socialize Bentley. She told me that I have to break the connection he has to me by making sure that I don't feed him, take him outside, play with him etc. only making sure by husband and son do it all. That's very difficult as they leave at 6am and are not back until 6Pm most days. Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so is this what you had to do?
