Find out what she really likes and use that for her reward. It may be treats, or a favorite squeaky toy, or praise from you. And once a day, hold her and tell her how much you love her, even if she has had a hard time behaving or has done bad things that day. Don't go to bed mad! And I think you're a good mommie for seeing that something wasn't right and taking steps to correct it. She'll trust you again, in time. Try to catch her when she is resting and give her a gentle tummy rub. It may help her to get past the Alpha Roll. Don't push if she seems nervous, eventually she'll allow you to do it for longer periods. And above all, have patience! Keep us updated on how she's doing! |
