I use Cheerios for treats. I would sit on the floor with her and try to desensitize her from hands reaching toward her. Break being picked up into several small actions. Like 1. Reach for her and reward when she stays put. 2. Reach then touch her, reward. 3. Reach, touch, then move hand under her chest, reward. Etc, etc, etc. She either has a fear of hands coming for her or possibly a fear of heights and may have been dropped at some point. Most of all, patience and repetition... |
