courtnek Posted October 28, 2003 Author Posted October 28, 2003 DAMN!! NOW I'M GETTING THE RED X - AND IT SHOWED BEFORE.... the other one was bigger... Quote
gooeydog Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 I copy/pasted the URL and saw it. She does look awful comfy ;) Quote
courtnek Posted October 28, 2003 Author Posted October 28, 2003 I've never had a timid dog before....I can break the most dominant, but this has been a real challenge...she is apparently men-submissive/afraid... My son always has guy friends here, which she is having a hard time dealing with...but her comfort in my room (instead of escaping upstairs and hiding) I am thinking is a good sign....it took over a month to get her to this point, so her comfort here is important to me... Am I doing ok? If not, PLEASE let me know... I'm not used to this behavior, obviously... Quote
ellieangel Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Courtnek Rio is much worse,he doesn't trust strangers at all and we have had him since 9 weeks,sometimes I think it is just in them. Rio was very well socialised he came to the kids school with me every day and to club with me every week but still he is nervous :roll: With him though I think it is bad breeding :evil: Quote

midori115 Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 oh, we all do it ... that's for sure. I can't go anywhere without wanting to bring home a little treat for the critters ... :D Quote
3ofakind Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Mary is a timid dog. She also was very well socialized, I did everything I could. She loves other dogs and has no problem with canine socialization. And she is okay with people, not aggressive at all, but just really doesn't want to be touched. All she does is duck or back away, hide behide me or between my legs. Like someone else said, since I have had her since 9 weeks and know she was never abused, I am sure it is just in her. I have tried all the desensitisations techniques, and it doesn't really help. She is just fine around people, just doesn't want to be touched. I think in her situation you just need to be patient and give her time. And allow her to retreat if that is what makes her comfortable. She will come out of her shell as she feels more comfortable, just as you have already seen. You are doing a fine job, all she needs is love. It is much different than a dominant dog though isn't it.
