Gauge is afraid of Ben, I want to start off by saying Ben has never raised his voice or anything to Gauge. Ben has been off of work for Christmas vacation, so home all the time recently. Gauge has always been a skittish dog but I have gotten him to where he isnt skittish anymore and a happy go lucky puppy, like he should be. But I have notice since Ben has been home he has gone back to being very skittish. And recently he has stopped eating cause Ben was around. Well Ben went to the store and as soon as Gauge knew he was gone he started eating again and acting happy again. What can we do to get Gauge not afraid of him? Ben has tryed spending time with him but Gauge just stands there with his eyes so big, like he is deathly afraid of being near him. I dont know why he is like this with Ben cause Ben has never done anything to him for him to be this way. He isnt happy when Ben is home and wont play or do anything when he is home. I am at a complete lost on what to do or how to make Gauge feel safe by having Ben around him. Please I need some help on what to do. Gauge just seems so miserable by having Ben around. Usually Ben is gone till 530 everyday except for saturday when he would get home at 12 and having Sunday off. I am so lost and sad at the sametime. Ben has really tryed to get Gauge comfortable around him. Everything was actually going good till Ben went on his Christmas vacation and been home everyday.
