Take it back, and start again with confident pup, make life easy on your self+pup. Maybe he wanted to give the pup a chance...? Maybe he feels he can give her a good life..? Take her back? To what....a life of shite? Sometimes if you get a nervous pup/dog or rescue her from a bad situation and you bring her round and really bond with her, the rewards are amazing...she'll want to please you and will love you unconditionally = a great working dog. Good luck with her and I hope you have many happy years together....you sound like a really genuine bloke, who wants to do the best for your dog. Patience and bonding with her will allow her to blossom into a first rate companion. Edited August 5, 2010 by Buttermilk Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 When you call the dog to you sit down first. Don't ever bend over her, looming over her like a huge threat. Sit or crouch whenever you are with her: make yourself as small and harmless as possible. Spend a lot of time just sitting with her, talking to her. If she is frightened of being touched don't ever put your hand on top of her head or back: always stroke under her chin to begin with, then the front of her chest, then the sides of the shoulders. Never pat, always stroke, small gentle movements. Don't move quickly when your'e near her: slow movements. Talk quietly, and don't be afraid of baby talking her: being hard is for idiots who want to impress their mates, not make a bond with their dogs. It would also help if you could explain in exactly what way she is nervous> describe how she behaves. Spend time watching how she reacts to different things: is she scared of anything in particular? Or is she just generally worried about everything? Quote Link to post
