jackie62 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Mays does not mind nor does koda or tip but diesel no touch my ears is the look you get from him . Think it is better to start this sort of thing at an early age so they get used to it . What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinville Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 As a pup, he hated it. But, I kept doing it over and over as you just HAVE to touch them. Now, it's his favorite thing. He'll often put his head in my lap just so I'll rub them. Silly, spoiled boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 oh i am as he gets a treat i will stroke his head and scratch behind his ears or stroke his ears just wondered if any1 elses did this or jus blaze lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hasn't got an ear infection or ear mites has he? I know Kimba puts his ears back when he gets excited or runs about like a mad thing when he gets bursts of energy but he's ok with having them touched. Have you tried stroking him with some treats in an enclosed fist so he has to work at getting the food whilst having his ears touched? That way he associates having his ears touched with a positive experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 his ears all look clean and healthy and he doesnt seem to b in any kind off discomfort yeah doin the treat and ears things will try it with my hand closed next time he has treats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becca Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Neither of mine are bothered by it Charger loves ear massages but being a bit hand shy still from his previous owners, he does tend to jerk away if you move too quickly near his face. Ari could careless where you are petting her just as long you are LOL. If he has extreme difficulties into it, there is a program called Ttouch developed by Linda Tellington Jones you could look into. I know many people who have touch resistant dogs have had great success with her program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bec Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Mish is obsessed with ears rubs!! and he has been ever since he was a little eight week old pup. He will come up to you and put his head on your lap just so you rub his ears, and when you rub them he gets the biggest sibe smile on his face! It's so cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Marley loves having a good ear scratch! He will lean his head into your hand for a better scratch, bless him. Gizmo doesnt mind it but he prefers to be scratch just in between his shoulders - oh how he LOVES that! Bandit is very sensitive about his ears, and doesnt really like his ears being played with much, he is ok for a few seconds but will then move away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
