A buddy of mine had a summer camp for bird dogs up in Ok years ago. Lots of bird dogs are like hog dogs in that they might be skittish. They just are not too big on being touched. Some of these dogs are outstanding and just need to be brought around.

One of the things he would do was chain the dog right by to door going into the cabin. Everybody that went in or out had to pet the dog a little. At first the dog would hide under the steps and you would have to well rope it out to pet it. Pretty soon the dog learns that nothing is going to happen and really looks forward to human contact.
