I'd be offering my hand out with a treat for awhile and then pet/treat. He may be going thru some phase.

You clicker train? Just taking that out and doing some fun training will help immediately. As well as if you've been doing a good job with playing and tugging with him. That all will help take his mind off whatever and put you back into the 'wonderful world'.

If it's simply a weird temperment phase he's going through, yes treats from the hand is a good idea.

But out of curiosity - did you determine why his paw was red? If he's in pain, etc, it will sometimes cause dogs to submisively urinate out of pain/fear when you mess with it (haven't had this happen personally with mine, but have heard of it happening from others)

I'd be using the treats and fun but Rerun may be right and a trip to the vet is in order to get the foot looked at.
