Lola was the same way, what worked well for me is telling her what I'm going to do. When I bend to pick her up I always say "Can I pick you up?" and she'll usually stop and let me (other times she uses her No! growl, but that's rare). If I just bend she still runs away and she's almost 2.
Also if I tell her to come she won't come unless I squat down, the trainer at petsmart said that's not unusual for small dogs.
It's not unusual for dogs to not like having their head touched, but he needs to at least let you remove eye boogers and brush his teeth. |
