skycat 6,173 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Sounds like he's lacking confidence. Has the other dog trashed him at all? Has he seen anything caught? It's unusual for a pup not to want to go and investigate what's around him: have you tried taking him out on his own? What age did you get the pup? If he hasn't been correctly reared and socialised he might take a lot longer to come on. Pups need to be out and about and socialising by the time they are 12 weeks old or they may lack the skills needed to come on right. Not saying out and working obviously, but mixing with other dogs, seeing new things, places etc. Quote Link to post
