Maybe while your husband is at work take a nap with him. Lay on the sofa with him and just keep touching him. If he walks away, OK just give him a few minutes then pet him again, and so on.
I hope he comes around soon and you feel better. |
thankyou. i guess i'm just freaking out because i'm not sure what to expect and i can't help compare him to my girlfriend's yorkie who was just the most affectionate dog ever. it seems to me that he might be quite independently spirited but then he does seem to enjoy sitting with my husband if he can. i didn't want an independent dog though and the breeder assured me his bloodline was made up of very affectionate animals so i don't know what to think. it's early days though and richard (my husband) seems to think that badger 'prefers' him simply because i'm the 'pack leader'. i don't know if that makes sense but i have been the only one feeding him and toilet training him (which he's done really, really fast. i was very surprised how quickly he got it) so perhaps he thinks he's 'got' me and he can focus on charming richard instead
do you know if the play biting is normal still for his age (almost 13 weeks)? he seems to do it a lot whenever i try and hold him during the day. even if i stroke him while he's playing, he'll turn round and nip at me. is that normal?
