Thanks again, KJC. I don't think she has poor eye sight coz I've sort of tested it and she sees little things like cheese that I toss to her. Sometimes she can't smell it then I point to it and she'll go. Things have been ok for the past couple of days then tonight she did the frightened thing again. It's on and off. I dunno when it'll stop but it's distressing to see once she starts acting up.
I took her to the dog trainer a few days ago and she got exposed to this playful and really obedient Bichon puppy and she was scared at first but slowly started playing a bit with her. She was still her shy self but she was curious enough to chase the puppy which was good. When the puppy came up to me and was about to lick me though she got all defensive and tried to bite the dog. I dunno if that's a good thing or if she'll continue to do that coz I do plan on adopting another dog - a Puli. And it might be a problem for her to have a companion dog. I just want her to have a playmate coz sometimes people are so busy in my house that no one can really play with her. And she's so shy sometimes that she wouldn't play.
I've kept her on a leash now when I go out. I bought her a harness so it doesn't scare her as much anymore. She loves to go out now. After that alone time I gave her she now enjoys going out. She still gets scared but I see her so excited when she goes out or when I take her to my cousin's place where they have a garden. I hope she comes around soon. She's such a sweet and affectionate dog. |
