I agree, just give her some time and let her get use to things in your home. Boo is afraid of all loud noises, so before I turn on anything I'll tell him, "Boo, Momma's going to make a loud noise now." and that helps. He'll know it's coming and it won't surprise him.
Try to associate good things happening when people come over. Annie was fearful at first too. I had a treat jar near the door and whenever anyone would come in I'd have them grab a few treats to give to her. She got to were she enjoyed company.
The running when you bend over, Gracie Ruth would do this, too. Again, with treats in hand, I'd call her to come to me and usually tried to be sitting or kneeling down so that I didn't seem so big and scary. Never call her to come to you to discipline her. I also won't call G to come to me when it's bath time. She hates baths, so I'll just walk over to the treat jar and she'll follow. After giving her a treat I'll just pick her up and head to the bathroom. A little sneaky, yes, but at least she doesn't associate following the command to Come with something bad happening. Come here always means something good. |
