Guest Downtownhoundz Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I've had the boyz since September of last year and they have been so afraid of people, men especially ! Whenever my daughter's boyfriend comes over he has to sit on the sofa with a blanket over his head so the boyz will come downstairs and eat, go potty, etc. If they see him they run back up the stairs and whine! Even on walks, the boyz will react. For the last few weeks they have been getting better at not running when they see him and today , Ben actually LET my daughter's BF PET him!!!!! Not only once but twice !!! Bernie is still a little shy yet ,but he actually accepted a mooshie from him!!! This is a HUGE deal here!!!!

Guest MyBoys Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) It is such a GREYT feeling when your spooky dog or dogs take a step forward, your boys are surely heading in the right direction. I did however get a good laugh picturing your daughter's BF sitting on the sofa with a blanket over his head he really is a good sport and hopefully they will all become friends.
