| ![]() Sweetie you've gotten wonderful advice. The only thing I'd add is stop usi g the retractable leash and see how she is. I have to share that last year a friend of mine let her son hold the grip on her 4 lb yorkie's retractable leash as they were outside. The yorkie took off running and went around a padio set the leash was all the way extended when her son lost grip of it. It hit her baby in the head and she passed away. I think those leashes have more power than we realize. I will say I'm not sure if it was a small one or a large one as I didn't want to ask her too much about it or bring it up again so I just don't use them on Bambi as she's too tiny. How about trying this.....you hold onto the end that hooks onto the harness and have a friend walk away extending the leash some and then have your friend let go of the handle so you feel how hard it actually hit your baby. I think that might help you figure out if you want to use it or not. Hugs

| ![]() I had a toy poodle like that and it took her 7 years to start to stop being fearful but she was one of the sweetest dogs I ever had. She would run and hide when someone would come to the house. I left her alone and she would come out on her own terms. Just about the time she was beginning to improve, she passed away. I never knew why she was so afraid but I just did not force meeting people on her. |
