 Manchester, I'm gonna let this one go... but if you have something extremely rude to say either 1) Not say it at all or 2) Be polite, and change the words up a bit so it doesn't sound as rude  |

| What is your problem Manchester? I don't understand how someone can be so nasty? Has something happened lately to upset you? If you need to talk pm me I'll listen but please stop being so nasty here. We are all trying to learn and being so heartless and down right miserable solves nothing. Actually all you are doing is causing people to dislike you and that can't be good. If you need to vent I'm here do it but otherwise lets be nice. Opinions welcome but make it constructive. |

| I think Doberluv's got the right idea. I doubt it was anything you did that scared Kona - it was probably something outside, or even just being alone out in the big world. You can't really know what happened to her before you got her. Just treat her normally - you don't want Kona to figure out that treats and other good things happen if she acts frightened) and let her know that she's safe.

| If she seems intimidated by you, try spending time qith her in a quiet room -- near her but not actively with her... turn your back and sit quietly with some kibble or treats on the floor around you and in your hands. Let the puppy be near you without feeling your presence as "in her face". Speak to her in a calm, soothing voice -- say her name, tell her she's a good dog, etc. Have a bed or toys or something close to you, but not in a position that she would have to pass in front of you to get to them. Spend some time like this every day until she relaxes enough to get close to you. Don't grab or reach for her -- wait for her to come to you. When she does, give her a special treat and calmly praise her. Dogs' minds work in mysterious ways -- if your face was the last thing she saw before being left alone outside and frightened (which I don't think was a crime, BTW), your face may trigger a fear response in her. As for getting a puppy into a crate when s/he doesn't want to go, tossing treats in seems to work pretty well for my puppy. And you didn't ask, but please gently remind your mother that punishing a dog for going inside does absolutely no good. Dogs can't make the connection between now and five minutes ago -- instead, Kona will decide that your mother hates poop and pee and Kona will be frightened to potty around your mom. If you don't catch the dog in the act, just clean it up -- what's done is done, to a puppy. Good luck! |
