Many anxious, uncertain, emotionally shut-down dogs have to learn how to play and become inquisitive and it takes an involved human to bring them out of themselves. I just love to see dogs like this start to trust, blossom, gain self-confidence and lose many of their fears and learn to love working with their human to become a happy, fulfilled, feisty domesticated dog with many interests in their rich life. It may take 6 mos. to a year to get her where you want but if you keep working with her, she will get there, and be a wonderful pet to have around for years to ocme.
