Thanks so much for providing individuals with an extraordinarily brilliant opportunity to read from this web site. It is always very superb and jam-packed with amusement for me personally and my office mates to visit your blog the equivalent of three times in 7 days to study the latest issues you have got. Not to mention, I’m usually astounded with the very good tricks served by you. Some 2 ideas on this page are rather the finest I have ever had.

Adopted Kate, (2-2.5 yr old spayed female Walker Hound), on 2/27/10. She was originally with Lake County Animal Services, Tavares, Fl and adopted by Luckyones Rescue on 11/6/09.
The reason I am asking for your guidance:
Kate has been in our home 10 days. She has made great progress in the home. I anticipated that she would participate and enjoy obedience classes. That was not the case. She froze while crossing Princton and it was downhill from there. Her behavior seemed irrational and I did not know how to to calm her or to get her focused. It was excrutiating for her and disruptive for the others. It has crossed my mind that obedience or the format is overload right now. Conversely, it concerns me to not introduce expectations so she is a good citizen, good companion and safe. She has potential but I’m not tuned in to bring out the best.
What I have witnessed:
Kate seems uncertain, nervous and often frightened. Her behavior is unreliable and her reaction is freeze or flight. Things that frighten her include; doorways, particular rooms, which rooms change from day to day, a garbage can or other stationary objects, most men. Outside of the home, she seems distracted and accutely aware of motion and sound. At these times, she does not respond to me.
She appears to enjoy other animals. I believe that she shared open quarters in the foster home. She seeks the attention of my 10 year old dog Allie. At play, she will belly up and submit. She also enjoys human contact as she seeks and enjoys long tummy rubs and affection from my husband and me.
Initially, she would take one piece of food at a time from the bowl and hide to eat it. Thought this might indicate runt of the litter who struggled for a meal.
Initally, she stood all the time as if it were the safest position from which to run. Would not sit or lay down except in her crate.
Immediately, she would allow me to do anything to her. I could hold and massage her paws, inspect her mouth- things a dog ordinarily objects to.
She never barks, never growls. She bays when she hears the garage door go up which signals I’m home and she gets very excited about that. She doesn’t react to the doorbell or a person coming to the door.
She has been been given a clean bill of health except that her teeth need to be cleaned and it was suggested to not expose her to that right now.
She is crated while I am at work. I come home at lunch. We take a walk and have a meal. She has as much supervised time out of the crate in the morning and evening as possible. Took her to a friends house where there is a large fenced yard. She inspected it thoroughly but did little running or play.
That is as much as I can share right now. Will see you in the morning.

I just got a dog from Michelle of Gimme Shelter. She is 1yr old and has had very little training. I would like a consult to get started.
