Our yorkie was abused & neglected. He used to cower & pee if you looked at him or tried to greet him. He still has problems but has improved greatly. I read about massage therapy & thought it was hokey, but cost nothing to try.
I believe that was the start to him trusting. If he is near you just start massaging around the neck & shoulders & work down. He may start feeling more comfortable & less barky. Buddy seldom submissive pees anymore |
