My girlfriend has a Shih Tzu, and for some reason he REALLY hates it if he sees anyone touching anyone else. This could range from a hug or a kiss to a hand hold to a light tap. This goes for people he has barely met, even if he sees a parent walking with their child sometimes. I think he has been in a house where there has been physical violence which may explain the behavior, but for example someone was holding him and another person came to hug the person holding him and he reacted by biting. Can someone give me some ideas of specific way to help train him to be okay with physical touch?
