Oh how good is my pup! I tried a different approach. Instead of having people stop and offer Apollo food and try to pet him. I kept walking, kept his focus on chicken and told him to leave it when he showed any reactions (good or bad)
Everytime he looked away from the people we were passing and looked at me or the chicken, he got some and sometimes I'd get him to sit then he'd get chicken just to switch it up and keep his mind busy.
As I was coming home, my neighbor who has never met him walked up to us. He walked right up to her and sat and shook her hand!
So I think I will just teach him to ignore everything and only allow a select few to try and approach him. If he doesn't want to, fine by me as long as he doesn't fear passer byes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I love my boy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
BTW Apollo is 6 months old today!
