Interesting little dog, but it sounds like you keep trying and don't push yourself on her. That is where my downfall would be I would be force holding her and rubbing her tummy just willing her to open up. Since she has so much energy and sounds smart she would probably take well to agility training and perhaps tricks. How far are you from Irvine? |
I go both ways...some days I push and I hold and kiss her(its hard not too) other days I try to give her treats and let her choose if she wants to come near. She is super food motivated. She is also a very social and affectionate dog so I feel its a matter of time before she shares all that love she has to a human. You hit the agility and tricks on the money she would excel and thrive if she had someone do this...and probably bond with them. We try a little but Im not a great trainer and really dont have the time. I want so badly for her to be in a family with someone who would take advantage of her ability to learn and I want a young playful dog for her to live with...seems like not much but she seems to draw people that want purse dogs and that she is not. Not sure where Irvine is I can google it.
