I got Pixie 7 weeks ago and she was 13 months old and the Breeder had her puppies and dogs in the basement in runs. Pixie cowers when we try to pick her up but is slowly getting better. She also freaks out when I take her outside on a leash and just hits the ground shaking. As far as picking her up I always say Mommy's going to pick you up before I do so she gets use to it. I am going to try and keep walking her a little whenever I can. Just give it some time |
