hang in there Bud , he's still new and probs not handled much , a wee trick you can try is put something ( old ! ) that you have worn ...lets them get used to the scent of you ....other times youjust gota go with the flow ...the ''bite'' s nothing really , imagine someone pressing velcro ''hooks '' onto you ....honest its more the lightning speed of movement that gets most ppl gasping , NOT the bite
