Re: Difficult to bond with?

She has moved into his house. She has a crate to sleep in and is crated when not supervised. I was wondering if this was maybe adding to the problem (becoming a house dog) as I'm pretty sure her life was in a kennel or dog run before.

Would the stress of too much change make it harder to bond?

I have 'harped' on him about how he has to be so much fun and really set her up for success...reward reward reward. He is working on it but has never had an insecure dog before or raised a young dog so he is surprised by her behavior sometimes instead of seeing trouble coming and heading it off. He is committed though and working hard with her.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Melissa
