I've read that a hand over the head, even just for a friendly petting, is kind of a dominating move, so maybe she's responding to that. Do you sit on the ground with her when you're practicing tricks or stand or squat?

Lauren & Nikko
Ive tried sitting next to her, on the couch, on the floor, everywhere.... she only cowers when i tell her to sit with a treat in my hand Then she flops down on the floor and lays down! I pet her everywhere and she has NEVER cowered down... It just makes me wonder what went on before i got her!

Ive tried twice today for a good half hour without much luck. We're gonna call it a day, and maybe try something else tomorrow. Im worried that the sit thing is scaring her...
