My take is a bit different from the norm and may sound whacky, but here goes... It sounds like both you and your furbaby are under a lot of stress. Dogs communicate primarily through unspoken signals using their senses - sight, smell, taste, hraring, etc. And they generally take their lead from the pack leader (should be you). When you worry and are stressed, your body sends a plethora of signals which can cause negative feedback which your furbaby processes and acts on.
When you add in her hardwired genetic personality traits plus the abuse she endured at the hands of the "trainers", it makes for a lot of confusion for her to process and negative behavior is the end result.
Sometimes the best solution is to step back and just relax and focus on building a positive atmosphere. Relax, enjoy her and for a while try to avoid the negative triggers. Often the quickest way to solve a problem is by taking the slow scenic route. |
