Hey guys and gals,
I need a little advice. I'll be taking Milou and myself to be trained shortly but I'd like to know of any advice and tips before I go to training with him.
He has become so anti-social lately. When we first got Milou, we socialized him well and he was friendly, shook his tail and all. But a couple months back my goddaughter was playing with him and I guess she was too rough with him that ever since then he's become antisocial. If a stranger wants to greet him, he might go up to them but then backs away and hides behind my girlfriend or me or he goes up to them runs behind us and starts barking at them.
I tried to retrain him, by having him sit, have someone greet him, then i reward him but this has not worked so far. So any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
