If your cousin was never alone with Siriss and you can swear that there was nothing bad done to him, then perhaps he just plain doesn't like your cousin. He might move in a manner Siriss doesn't like. He might smell like something Siriss doesn't like.

Edit -- I just saw your response for therapy dog. Make sure he is socialized to the hilt. Have you gone for his CGC yet?


I'm not sure if he hurt him or not. Come to think of it I never thought of that. He has been alone with him a few times when he was really little. Like I said he does all of this from the other side of the room while hiding. No I haven't done any of his test. He is still in obedience right now and going to the park and things like that so he is around other people and animal. Stuff like that. That is why I said in training. It will be awhile before he starts. I don't think he is old enough yet. He still has the puppy hyperness. Thanks for your advice.
