Raising a catahoula

I just went through the same thing you did with my cat pup. I kinda contribute his behavior to the fact that I got him at over 3 months of age. This is the first working dog of any sort that I got older than 8 weeks. I have gotten more impatient with dogs as I have gotten older(trying to get better at that) I was kind of hard on him when he did wrong before creating a bond. For several weeks everytime he saw me he would try to be sliver away. When it came time to kennel the other dogs up he would litterally play cat and mouse with me. One night I was so pissed he wouldn't come I went out to the shop made a lasso out of some cotton rope and when I got close enough to him I roped his A** and like to pulled his leg out of socket I was so pissed. I am telling you this because all I was doing was just shooting myself in the foot. I was simply scaring the **** out of him everytime I tried to be apart of his life. The next night I tried to kennel him up to eat, he did not come, so he did not eat. The next morning I tried the same thing and he kenneled up wagging his tale and has done so for me every morning and every evening. He now sees me and often comes running wagging his tale. I just have to constanly remind myslf not to be so short tempered with him. Good luck
