I just wanted to add a followup that I remembered after I hit submit. Someone on YT suggested that Pippa sensed my guilt for bringing in a new puppy and the more we tried to compensate (playing, petting, cooing) with her, the worse she got. It was suggested to ignore her (hardest thing I had to do) and she would come back looking for attention instead of rebuffing us. That worked really well, as crazy as it sounds. Just go on about your business and let Bella come to you. It's hard to do and just a suggestion. |
