Hi all, some of you may remember me posting some issues I was having with Wilma being nervous of other people and dogs. Well after following your helpful tips over past 2 months she has improved no end. She has no issues with dogs now (much to the detriment of her recall at times
) and she will approach people.
However, if a stranger bends to stroke her, she will still take the submissive position showing her belly and will 'wee' a tiny amount. I'm assuming this is 'fear'?
This can happen both in or out the house, and whereas before I would ask people to not stroke her (as advised on here to build her confidence), she does give a bit of a mixed message to them now, by bounding over to sniff them with her tail wagging
She is 6 months old now. She does not wee when dogs approach or when a familiar person strokes her. She only does it on touch too...not if someone bends over her to grab her ball etc. is this something they grow out of? Should I respond to it in any particular way? We ignore it currently.
