Foot shy - no I don't think so. But definitely she shies away with a fast movement forward to her.

This is a little different, but I have a problem with a family member who enters the house excitedly and squealing for the pups to come greet him, creating separation anxiety in the pups. I have to remind him every time not to do that. It gets frustrating at times.
Thanks for thinking to post this. |

I agree the title was unclear - but I suppose my points were; in a multi person household you don't always get to know/see how other members are treating/disciplining your dog(s), and of course the potential problems that could ensue.
The other point is I have no idea if this was the first and only time my sis did this. Of course I asked her, but she doesn't always tell the whole truth - sometimes she will tell you what she thinks that you want to hear.
Dara is already shying away from quick movements - like if you get up from a chair quickly and move at fast pace towards her.
