    "Do not pet/touch/get close" being ignored.

    Yes Judy, he's a lovely sweet natured boy and great with kids. He's a bit shy and unsure until he gets to know people and definitely prefers children and women over men. When he's comfy he'll go to them, then afterwards spontaneous petting from that person is fine. He displays signs of being...

    "Do not pet/touch/get close" being ignored.

    Hi there. We have a wonderful rescue dog we adopted a few weeks ago. He's lovely natured but a bit unsure around strangers. He isn't aggressive, he just reacts by displaying uncomfortable body language if approached. One sudden approach resulted in a growl. We've been desensitizing with...
