Hi All,
We recently added Dora the 2yr old rescue dog that Sallymum had fostered to our family.Dora is a lovely little thing,but it is very obvious that she has suffered cruelty at human hands as she is terrified of people,she physically shrinks or runs away into her safe corner.
Her current hobbies include sleeping and eating,she will take food from my hand,she shows great talent at these hobbiesMy pup (9mths) Brinkley has not adjusted to her yet and continues to bark at her,he wants to play and she is busy sleeping alday.He also isnt keen on her getting hugs from his mum.
Dora is not lead trained or fully toilet trained, as she will not let me pick her up or approach her, i can not take her out to a designated spot in the garden, when she goes to the toilet in doors.
If anyone has any training suggestions on toileting her and gaining her trust i would welcome them. She will also bolt for the door and prefers to be outside rather than inside.
Dora is the first rescue I have had and i would love to hear the tips and stories of others.
I have added a picture of Dora,she is the small cavalier to my album if anyone is interested.
Thanks
