Jessie is very frightened of people. She Is 10 times better than when we got her. When frightened she circles all the time. So when she does go out she circles on my feet as I walk. If the back door has blown to when she is in the garden she will circle. Anyone coming to the house she will try and hide behind me if I sit down. 7 years in a puppy farm has done so much damage to her. Maggie was in a farm for 7 years too but she got used to people after about 18 months.
I will get the book that you mention Mari . She relies a lot on Maggie but poor Maggie is 13.5 and completely deaf very poor sight and when awake if she dioes not know I am near will cry and cry then bark.
