Just as we thought we were getting everything sorted with Honey, she's thrown up a whole new issue.
She doesn't like strange male visitors to the house.
It's happened 3 times now.... men she's met before she's perfectly happy with and greets enthusiastically, women she's perfectly happy with and greets enthusiastically even if she hasn't met them before.
Strange men, on the other hand, get the full blown woofing treatment...
She's never had a bad experience with a male visitor to the house, and it takes her several visits to get over this inital reaction....
The trouble is, cos it's strangers, it's hard to get people to come an visit to help improve this...
My brother just called round, and I was able to get her to sit and be quiet, but the second my attention moved from her, she was back to woofing... she accepted a treat from my brother, but still with a low growl/woof going...
I don't think it would help to not let her see them come in, as it is their presence in the house that she objects to (one person, whenever he moved to, say, go to the loo, got a new round of woofing)...
Any ideas on this one??
