Someone please help!!
My puppy is 4 months old, I got him 2 weeks ago and he is doing a little better then when I first got him. When I first got him he was scared to do anything. Now he goes exploring and what not, but he won't listen to me. He runs when I try to pick him up, pet him or anything! I tell him to come, I even get down on my knees and clap my hands and call him to me very playfully. He comes just out of arms reach then he takes off when I go to pet him like I'm going to hurt him. I praise him or give him treats when I finally pick him up. He seems to only want to be touched when we are playing which is rare. He doesn't like to play with me very often.
Next-
He will not go potty outside. He runs around outside but will not relieve himself. We were outside all day today and he never went potty until we came inside and he went straight to him pee pad. (I use a pee pad at night cuz he won't wake me up whinning.)
Next-This isn't anything to do with listening but....
I was petting him the other day and notices he has a couple hard lumps on his neck, under the skin. The move around so they aren't in the same spot but stay on the neck. I don't know what it is and it terrifies me. I want others opinions before I take him to the vet.
