| Hope someone can help! We've had Giggy almost 2 months now. loves being with me but will not go to my husband although if my husband picks him up and pets him. Giggy really doesn't want anything to do with men. Giggy lived with the breeder(who loved him and there were 3 other dogs at her house.) A doctor and his wife adopted Giggy and Giggy lived with them and their 2 kids for a little over a year. The doctor then brought him back to the breeder saying that he and his wife were separated and could no longer keep him. You would think that Giggy would be socialized but seems afraid of men & other dogs. Also, he wasn't potty trained, which we're working on and he's doing very well although he doesn't tell me when he wants to go out. I really just need help with what to do about him overcoming his fear of men. |

| Have your husband feed him and train him some tricks. It might take awhile but intuduce him slowly to men who will go slow and give him a very yummy treat, maybe a piece of chicken or cheese and he only gets this from men. Try to make all his interactions with men super positive. He should start coming around, training would help.
