I think the key is to just keep taking her. The more you take her, the more she will get accustomed to it. I forgot to mention that the longer we stay, the better Franklin gets. I try to stay for at least an hour when we go because he's still pretty shy at first. It takes him at least 15 minutes before he'll start to play with other dogs. Just keep taking her and continue to build her confidence and she'll be a social butterfly in no time! |
Thanx
I've been taking her a lot, ever since I got her and she's always been like this. But i think she made a little improvement cause the first time she was petrified of other dogs, now aleast she lets them sniff her and will walk a little. She is much better with Yorkies than other breeds.
