Introducing me and Cory Hi, my baby's name is Cory My Sidekick. A bus driver in my town helped give him thst name. I introduced him as my sidekick, then when I told him Cory's name he said, "No, you said his name was Sidekick, so that's his name." So I gave him the whole name. We have a problem. My guy is VERY timid. From the begining when I said something to him he would flatten his body to the floor. It scares me that I will make it worse. He seems to be better as time passes, but he jumps at loud sounds and got very stressed at my daughters home. He is not used to children. I put him in time out by me on the couch. That helped. |
Is this a puppy or is he a newly adjusting adult...? Some kiddos are just more naturally shy for some reason, just like some people. Keep socializing him and giving him lots of TLC, but don't push too hard - and don't ever punish him for being shy, of course. Give lots of encouragement AND treats when he's doing well. Allow the children to quietly and slowly give a few treats as well. :) |
With lots of love he'll come around. Listen to Wylie mom... she's got lots of good advice! Welcome to YT! |
Welcome to YT. When I first got Chloe she did the flat dog thing, she dosen't do it with me anymore, but she will do it with new people. I often wondered if her previous owners did not pick her up securily and she did not feel safe. She likes kids Ok as long as they are fairly quiet, my niece loves to play with her and she's great, but Chloe hates her brother (he's young and runs around to much) everytime he comes in the room she will bark at him. |
