Keep the environment quiet. Do not subject the rabbit to loud noises or sudden movement. When you approach the rabbit, move slowly and speak quietly. Train the rabbit to trust you. Hold a small piece of apple or another treat where it can be seen and smelled. See if the rabbit will come out of a hiding place to approach the treat and take some of it while you are holding the treat. Then drop the treat and pet the rabbit on the back or side so that the rabbit associates being touched with a nice treat. If you can put a rabbit in a small enclosed area that is safe, it helps to just sit on the floor calmly and let the rabbit explore and approach you when it wants to. Most rabbits enjoy having a large cardboard tube for a hiding place so that they are not always out in the open. Also, remember that some rabbits are friendlier than others just by nature. It may take a while to get a shy rabbit to relax and be calm around people.

You will have to simply give it time and reassure your dwarf rabbit that he's not going to be hurt.
