Here's what happened. My father accidentally stepped on Neon's foot yesterday. Neon, who I think was asleep, jumped up and nipped Dad on the ankle. No blood, just a pinch.
No hard feelings from Dad, he knows that it was probably a reflex. Except now, Neon is terrified of my father. He has a hard time trusting new people anyway, and every time he sees Dad, he runs behind me. Dad has tried offering high value treats, but the minute the treat is gone, so is Neon.
To futher complicate matters, we do not live with Dad, so he only sees him every other week or so. Tips for getting them back on solid ground with each other?
