| scared around men? Hi everyone. I have a new and unfamiliar problem with my youngest yorkie. Out of no where, he has been very uneasy around men. He just turned a year on July 29th and that is the first time I have noticed the problem. He has been around other men in the past and never showed signs. He is completely fine around men he is use to (my boyfriend, dad, uncle, etc.) but when someone different comes over or we go to their house, he will not go near them. PS- I have a 4 year old female that loves EVERYYYONE. haha. Any advice?

| It is not uncommon for a dog to deside that something is concerning. I simply have men not make contact at first and let him smell and check them out. I have the men toss treats at a distance and have it a extra special a man came to visit treat only. Then strange men become great cause the hand out the great stuff. JL |

| I have the same problem I have the same problem w/my 1 yr old male. He's so scared (and sometimes aggressive) w/any male other than Daddy. Even Grandpa scares him. It's weird. Sometimes he's ok w/Grandpa, but if he goes outside and comes back in he barks like crazy at him...like he forgot who he is. And he's very protective of Mommy and Grandma around men. Not sure what I can do??? |
