We're having a little bit of trouble with Jasmine. She is shy, and has a thing about walking through doors. I hate dragging her around by the collar, so I pick her up and carry her out in the morning. In the evening, we leave the door open and sit quietly in the great room where we can see her outside. She makes 5 or 6 aborted attempts to go through the door before she finally gets up the courage to come in. Then she makes 5 or 6 aborted attempts to come near us before she finally jumps into Vicki's lap. When it's time to go to bed, I have to carry her to her crate. I hope she gets over this. She is a real sweetheart once she is in your lap, and she loves playing with Ellie.
We are having no problems with Ellie. She is full of love and energy, and a lot of it is directed towards me. She likes me! I think I'm falling in love.

I think some reinforcement training with treats will take care of Jasmine's fears. I believe I would resort to carrying her only if I had to. Sometimes you do because you have things to do, places to go. But if you are sitting in the great room, have those treats handy, You know dogs, they love a tasty treat.
She'll be a great dog once she forgets what caused this fear. I don't want to speculate about that but one can only imagine given the fk'd up people in this world. "She likes me! I think I'm falling in love." So nice to hear. |
