You may already do this, but if not, I have found clicker training an amazing way to build my wee boy's confidence. He's a sensitive flower, and I suspect was bullied a fair bit by a previous trainer. (I've seen the videos)
I use it for all his stretches, tummy lifts, picking up the back feet (not keen due to previous hind leg surgery), and we've started using it for in-hand stuff. He lights up when he realises we're doing a session, and the effort he puts in is phenomenal.
He seems so much happier in himself. Wish I'd discovered it years ago!
