Hi. It seems as though my dog has become a little scared of me. As i approach him he kind of puts his head down and backs away and i have to really encourage him to come to me. I have never gotten angry with my dog as i know this is bad and i always praise him and offer treats once he comes, both in the back yard and when i am walking him off the leash. I think it may be because i havent been spending as much time with him as i was a few months back and he spends a lot of time outside with my girlfriends dog. I have since decided to bring him inside each night for a bit of pampering and treats.
But i'd also like to know what you all think. Thanks heaps, Chris.
