Hi. I've posted on here before about my shihtzu rescue dog. He's settling in well ( only had him since October) and up to now my mum has been coming over to walk him twice a week when I'm at work. However I wanted to get a dog walker to take him so he could socialise.. but the dog walker can't get near him.. he won't let her put his lead on let alone walk him. He is a bit funny with new people, he's ok meeting dogs and people out on walks but not great if someone comes to the house. He will bark and growl. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on getting him used to the dog walker. He does have a strong attachment to me which is what I think the major problem is :/
