We adopted very shy and apprehensive Princess (renamed Ginger) about 6 weeks ago. Will helped us, so be sure he sees her pictures. We have been to Brie’s 4 classes, and plan to continue. Ginger hid behind my chair for the first class. Her brother, the black & white dog, was in the class, so she enjoyed getting together with him. She relaxed a lot and had more confidence by the 4th class.
Ginger is still having trouble trusting my husband, Mark (maybe it’s the beard), but she is coming along. We do daily treat games with him. I think it will take a while, but we do see progress. She is generally very good, but very cautious, about meeting other people. Ginger is good in the car and hops right into her ‘safe place’ bed. At home, the crate gate is always open, but she stays inside it a lot. I think that will change.
I am attaching a few pictures of her at the dog park in Marymoor Park. Sunday was our first time there, and we were with another dog (my daughter’s and her husband’s dog). It took a few minutes to coax Ginger to get out of the car. The park was scary at first, then became cool, and by the time we got to the end, she wanted to play! Big steps for Ginger!
Continue the good rescue work!
Thanks.
Regards,
Rita
