While Fido can be caught, he is not very willing and is use to running away from people. I used the approach/retreat method in his stall to allow him to let me touch him. I would approach with my hand out, and when he would make an effort to reach out and sniff my hand, I would walk away. I did this until I could walk up and touch his neck without him running
