She's probably very scared, being in a new place around new people and all. Let her go at her own pace, forcing the socialization will make it worse, not better. Make sure her crate is always available to her and maybe put a blanket over it so it's more like a cave, might make her feel more secure. If she's a runner it might not hurt to put some kind of baby gate up on your front door so that when you open it she can't bolt. And also when you go for a walk make sure the leash is on her before you open the door. Congratulations on your new baby and good luck! |
