never seen this with a pup and strange for all the litter to be like it, whats he like when you put food down

does he come to you or wait till you leave it?

try lying on the floor dont call him and face the other way may take a while but he should come to you from curiosity when he does just let him sniff you and walk on you and when he has finished or got off sit up and do same then slowly slowly increase this and should be ok ,just be patient he may come to you when you lay down may take an hour,hope that helps atb

just be patient mate,sounds to me that the pups have been frightened at some point in their early stage of life,just my opinion

feed him by hand for a couple of weeks, should improve

I looked at a litter like this when picking my last dog, head ruled my heart and I walked away after a 3hour round trip to literally the middle of nowhere, the fella told me he didnt handle them as he didnt want to get attached before they left.. Had I of brought one home I think the massive point is to need patience and alot of it! Instead of simply feeding him in a bowl at meal times make him come to you for tit bits with a soft gentle voice and no fast movements, as he grows confidence in eating reward him with more food giving a quiet but excitable voice tone till all of his meal has been eaten, when all goes to plan slowly get up of the floor and continue with your daily routine letting the pup see it wernt that bad infact they enjoyed the food. Soon it should be following you afterwards for more.. Also try to avoid loud noises such ad slamming cupboards, and using the Hoover as these may be steps backwards! Good luck and keep us informed on what works for you.. The harder gained trust will be well worth it in time..! Is it on it's own or do you have other dogs? Is it kenneled or in the house? If left alone and cries can also help form a bond when you go to give it attention.. Not sure if that idea is for you.. All in good time..
