John Halligan Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Just got off the phone with some one who gave really specific advice, while on leash in the front yard and a friend or stranger walk right up to skyla and give her a treat and pet her. Pat the chest a little bit and said stranger or friend walks away. Do this often but beware not to practice were a lot of people are, noise must be at a minimum and dog must be in a place that's comfortable ie front yard or inside home. I was also told that if skyla isn't socialized properly she might develop a fear biting problem. And one more thing a friend or stranger who is helping you should be loud vocally bit instead soft spoken and calm. If there's anything I left unclear get back to me I'll be more than happy to get back with you Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 She has never fear bit anyone usually just backs away or stands behind me . She meets people nearly every day aswell so she's very well socialised . But I'll try the patting technique n see how we go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
