Jl,
Actually that does make sense. I will try to wait for the good. She was very sweet with my son's friend eventually, when he approached slowly and patiently and waited for her to warm up. After a day she was pawing him to pick her up, so maybe I need to give her some more dry runs in controlled situations before taking her out on the street where I don't have so much control and people approach her too quickly.
The problem with a small dog, as I'm sure you know, is that everyone rushes them wanting to pet them. At 3 lbs she looks like a puppy, which she very definitely is not. Her protection instincts are every bit as strong as a bigger dog but she does want to be good. She hates to be scolded, so I'll try to wait for positive behavior. |
