Also, when I feed him, he likes to take the food into the living room drop it on the floor and then eat? Is this strange or normal behavior? Finally, he is afraid of other dogs (when walking in the neighbor and another dog is near he start shaking really bad). Will he come around? The squirrels in the backyard have no fear of him, he just looks at them, yesterday a few tiny gold finches landed on the feeder and scared him. Will he become socialized to other dogs and animals? He has yet, to make a sound, no whining or
Thanks everyone and have a great weekend.

Actually not all dogs want to kiss. I have two that do, and one doesn't . When I want to bedevil my magic I ask him for a kiss. I say kiss kiss and he ducks his head and turns his face away. Most hilarious .
The fear is going to take a loonnnggg time. Hopefully if you continue with your walks and so on he will slowly overcome it. Make going by dogs a treat. Give him treats in he beginning just for doing it.
