On a very tight leash. Every day to desensitive him. <BR/><BR/>Also, recruit a couple of smart children who are willing to hold his very favorite treats and teach him to do what they say: to sit, to lie down etc. And after they reward him with treats allow the kids to cuddle him gently.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265127258160163136noreply@blogger.com
