Another example - he crazily wants to go mountain biking with me. However, when we get on a trail together, he is afraid to come near the bike.
It's like he knows that there are fun things that he really wants to do - but his fear gets in the way.
He's a mess of contradictions...
He's worth it. He's such a special little guy that he has human friends who come to our house just to see *him*. They'll even go into his ex pen with him to snuggle.
da nelly is with you Hachi... in stressy situations what are too much for him he turns into a snap turtle... but we work on that topic...

He's sure a handsome pup. So photogenic. I do hope you can correct the things that need correcting though.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups. ♥
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
DeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
I'm afraid of the wheels on a baby stroller, Hachi, but not on a bicycle. I hope, in time, you won't be afraid either. Good things happen on that trail with your mom!
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time :-)
ReplyDeleteThat last picture...did I ever tell you that when I was doing CFI plots one winter in places where there was lots of moose sign, every time I got to a new plot I would look for a cluster of two or three trees that - if needed - I could hastily get inside or behind so that if a bull charged me his antlers would be stopped by the trunks? I am so glad I never had to test my "system"!
ReplyDeleteHachi is a very special boy; and we hope he can learn to work through his fears. ♥

ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Good luck to you with Hachi, you are definitely giving it your best!
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet! Hachi, you are very special.
ReplyDeleteWe know Hachi is so loved and you'll figure it all out with him.
ReplyDeleteHe's so lucky he has you!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so grown up in these pictures. Where is his puppy going?
ReplyDeleteHachi is a special boy with special people in his life.
ReplyDeleteHe is a complicated boy! Complicated, but as you say, worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad what life experiences can do to a young dog, but you will figure it out. If he wants it, that is half the battle. Now he needs to overcome the fear.
ReplyDeleteRescue dogs are always a multi-faceted puzzle. Keep helping your boy feel more comfortable.
