From my personal experience, I had the same thing happen to me with Coco. I don't think it's necessarily because they got hit or abused, I think they are just so small and are rightfully scared sometimes. Even though they are trusting, they are still learning that you wont hurt them. Coco used to run away but would run back with in 5 seconds. I think it's just a fun puppy thing, because it gets them excited and running and they see you trying harder so it may just be a game. Don't worry after a few months they get over this. It's kind of like a human child's stage of fear of strangers. |
