  • Poor girl. To me it sounds like she is so insecure in her own body, and doesn't know how to handle, it, so she uses anger, fear and contentment in a mixed jumble to make it through her day and life. I think if teh clicker training is working, which it sounds lie it is, great , keep it up, make it fun and most importantly, make her feel as if she has a job in your pack..she will not be moved/dumped again..she is important, but she has to learn to "work" under the same rules the rest of the pack works. In other words, make her to thetraining and work for it..she will thank you in the long run. Dogs, most dogs, like/thrive to be counted on, or reliad on, in my opinion.

  • Well Bailey did not really have it much better a tool shed were the DOOR GOT SHUT. Bailey I am sure hates sheds, doors, backyards without someone being there. Like looking into her past and she really does not want to go back there for sure.

    Until you got Bailey she may have never ever seen or know anyone but two people that kept her in a shed.

    If the rocks and ball look too much like food, try getting a bowl that has "walls" on the underside. If you turn over a regular bowl, some brands have these connecting bars between the inner and outer bowl walls. Put the food in the underside of the bowl and the dog has to work around these walls.

    I'd also have him tested for Valley Fever. Although the Dallas-Fort Worth area isn't really within the Valley Fever Map, the map is from 1957 so things could have changed dramatically since then. Although Valley Fever in its initial stages affects the respiratory system, in its disseminated stages, it can affect other organs, including the heart. It's certainly something I'd want ruled out.
