3. Step-by-step solution
Step 1: Rule out health problems
Check immediately for any trauma or swelling. It is recommended to record a video of the dog's body language when it is avoiding, so as to facilitate the first remote diagnosis by the veterinarian.
Step 2: Establish a trusting relationship
Refer to the "3-3-3 rule" of Station B's UP owner @梦楷 Doctor: communicate softly when feeding 3 times a day, keep a distance of 1 meter for 3 minutes each time, and gradually get closer for 3 days.
Step Three: Desensitization Training (Key Points)
| stage | Operation mode | Award criteria |
|---|---|---|
| primary stage | Show palms without touching | Give snack rewards |
| Intermediate stage | Touch non-sensitive areas lightly | Match with verbal praise |
| Advanced stage | full stroking action | Extend the caressing time |
4. Precautions
1. Avoid controlling the dog forcefully, as this will worsen the situation
2. Keep the environment quiet during training and remove interference from other pets.
3. If warning signs such as growling or baring of teeth appear, stop immediately.
4. It is recommended to use a pheromone diffuser (the sales of a popular pheromone spray in a certain company increased by 200% in the past 7 days)
5. References to successful cases
The progressive training video shared by Douyin user @金毛fat虎mother received 2.3 million likes. After 15 days of training, the dog that resists touch can actively seek petting. The key points are:

- Use high attraction reward (boiled chicken breast)
- Incorporate toys to distract
If the problem persists for more than 2 weeks without improvement, it is recommended to contact a professional animal behavior trainer. At present, there are more than 300 pet hospitals in major cities across the country providing behavioral outpatient services (Meituan data shows that related searches have increased by 75% year-on-year).
