I would put away the treats and feed her food only. maybe mix some cesars into some good dry kibble...
not the best food but it seems to work for alot of people.
Let her be distant, eventually she will come around. Would you hug me? of course not.
at 6 months we started getting our kids groomed. start bathing now every week or two.
as far as the rubbing goes, i would have the vet check her out, its like 30 bucks to be seen and see what he says about that...she could have food allergies or just doesnt like being wet after she drinks water...
depending on the quality of the food she will poop 2-4 times a day. the better the food the less poops.
right now the only training you should be doing is potty, stay, come...the basics. dont overwhelm her with all sorts of stuff and if you must use treats break them up into small small peices so as to not make her full.
And ive never used stress meds but id just let her get acclimated before attempting them.
good luck. that is all i have. Remember that i am no expert but i hope this helps. Im sure plenty of other people will have good input from their experiences.
Btw congrats and just remember to have fun. |
