    Hey all. I'm the owner of the dog. I thought I'd join after taking alook around here, and I'll do my best to answer all the replys.


    4 dog mother:
    I wonder what all they have tried.
    Everything that is suggested in this thread so far, except for the one about JP kneeling down, and offering a treat without looking at london. BUt I still doubt he'll get that close to him.

    Who feeds London? Maybe JP could try feeding him (if London will let him get that close). Most of the time dogs develop a bond with their primary caretake
    I do all the caretaking for London. In order for London to know whos feeding him, wouldn't he have to actually see JP fill his food/water bowl? Cause that wouldn't happen, as London stays on the opposite end of the house that JP is on. He'd never see it.

    pitc9, We've tried having JP ignore him. London still dodges him and stays as far away as possible.

    Wow, that sounds like the worse thing that you could do.

    My advice is let JP feed him and come along on the walks whenever he can. Cindymom's treat idea sounds really good too. I hope they manage to find a solution soon.
    Yeah, it sounded like a good idea at first, but I do think it made things worse.

    And I'm not sure that him coming along on walks with us is a good idea either. We tried that once, and because we have a 3 year old daughter, she had to come along too. Well, because London darts away from JP so badly, he nearly got his leash around our daughters neck! I was to afraid to carry on, I didn't want my girl to get hurt.
