Alex ( male ) Alex is very dependent on other dogs. Unfortunately when he is around Kiki, even though she is super friendly, he turns into a shy boy and avoids touch. Take Kiki out of the play yard, and he turns into a big baby! Who timidly seeks out love from you. He just needs some confidence. He really is very sweet, it just takes him a few minutes. I didn't try to walk him on leash, I didn't want to scare him so soon after a big change, but he doesn't mind being held, if you find the right position lol.
