I feel it is necessarily to give an update re Polly behavior.
Simply because I just do not want anyone who read information about similar problems and might be afraid to take dogs from rescue/shelter because of that.
So...    Polly is almost different dog now. She has no food aggression at all, I can touch her with no problem when she is eating her valuable  bone...
She easily let me groom her, wash her...  .... still doesn't let me to treat her ears, but she doesn't bite anymore!!!
She doesn't afraid of hands anymore (maybe sometimes, but comparable what was before, it is like sky and earth...)
The only concern I still have is ... she and Jessica. They are not really friends, and seems like will never be, they are just too different. Everytime Polly is trying to play with her, Jessica is afraid, because Polly is playing as alpha dog..... |
Good news!
I think in time....They will learn to play with each other. They have to go at their own pace and their own terms. My sister brought in a teen female dog last year and Cuddles and Lulu (her first dog) would fight really bad...BUT now, they are sisters

- of course they still rough house and play, but they do like each other now and protect each other and play on good terms
