My dog (nuetered male black lab) since I got him at 3 months has always been a little distant. He doesnt like to cuddle or even appreciate being pet on my terms. The only time I get good happy love out of him is when I come home after work, or he wants something, or knows he's getting something, or just wants a scratch on his terms...I dont understand. We do a lot of obedience together, he's not so hot on his off leash recalls quite yet, like he'd rather find something to do.
There's only been one night that we havent been together in 10 months, you'd think he'd be a bit more affectionate to me than this. It doesnt bother me all that much most of the time, I just get sad sometimes when he gives me the cold shoulder when I could use some k9 therapy. Any thoughts or remedies??
PS...I have never abused him, I work with dogs for a living, I could never hurt him. Like I said this has been going on since I got him...he used to scream when I cradled him like he was angry.
