Re: Very shy and timid pup......HELP

Tasha had some major issues as a pup. She is a BYB dog. She was very dominant and snarly. I thought I was in for it. The good things is I have worked with dogs for 10 years in various sanctuarys and shelters so I know the drill. I did the obedience classes and agility classes. We are going to start doing fly ball soon. I did not accept her bad attitude and I didn't cuddle her and tell her it was ok when she was insecure. All of my patience has paid off. She is a fabulous dog. She loves people and other dogs. I keep an eye on her in new surroundings and I am very aware of her body language. If it is not right I remove her from the situation.
