What we have found has been working is for me to put her right to the floor and say no... then I ignore her for a bit while the other person gives her attention. We have had to do it about 3 times and it hasn't happened in a few weeks.
also to get her more comforatble with other people we try to have everyone we know give her treats and attention when they see her. We make sure to be on her level with the other person so that she knows she is safe. little by little she is getting better.
Good luck, let us know how you fix this behavior! |
Congratulations on your rescue! Good idea about the other person giving her attention, and have everyone give her treats and attention. I think that will help, he seems very food oriented. Thanks for the input and hopefully I'll have a success story soon!
