If you got her directly from the breeder and she was never with another family before coming to you she shouldn't be so timid. Be gentle with her when talking to her, never smack or hit her, never yell at her if she does something wrong, correct her is a firm voice, but not loud voice. Start teaching her basic commands sit, stay, come etc. reward with treats when she gets it right and happy voice saying good girl. Work with her no more then 5 to 7 minutes through out the day. Teaching commands builds a bond between you and the pup.
Are there other ppl living in the home, are they raising their voice to her when she does something she's not supposed to do.
6 1/2 months old did you get her spayed. |
I got her from my brother's neighbor/landlady. She got her from a breeder. She was going to breed her. The story is slightly confusing; either she was tracking to be too small for breeding or she was too small for the male the woman had. Anyway, I took her, cause I was having trouble finding a female.
When I put her in her pen at night, she just stands on her pad and looks at me. And when I get up to go to the bathroom she immediately jumps up and looks at me. She's only now--after 36 days--starting to walk around and follow me "just a bit."
