yellowgirl Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Quick update on my foster girl (still calling her a foster and pretending that she's not staying :p ) Original story here if you missed it ... http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=194927 Kelpiehoundmum and her daughter, Shannon, came in to the shop to see Banshee today . Banshee had already had a few very successful meet & greets with customers earlier and was in great confident form. I showed the girls Banshee's trick where I crouch down and she jumps on my back, Shannon wanted to try it and Banshee jumped right up there! . She happily took any treats and pats that were on offer too It was a lovely visit for Banshee - confidence plus! Banshee was great with the next customer who came in, but then had a setback with the next one and wouldn't go near her. Then with the next one she was fine. Two men also came in together, and she wanted treats and pats from one but not from the other. She wouldn't go near him. I can tell straight away if she's confident with someone, what I can't work out at the moment is exactly what triggers her fear responses. By the way, Banshee is behind a barrier (you can see it in the pic) and only comes out to interact with customers if they want to meet her and give her a treat .

colliepaws Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Oh she's so pretty and what a cute and clever trick! After seeing this I just found and read the other thread you have for her (foster girl indeed! ) and I'm so glad that she ended up with you....lucky her, and lucky you with a whole crestie clan! So glad that her confidence is growing - I would love to meet her one day. I was really wanting to come up to your shop today but I've been tied up attempting to set up a dog run for Luka (he's recovering from a knee op) and he's not allowed free run of the backyard for another month and it's slow going...just taking a break now. :p If all goes well I'll drop by next weekend - I desperately need to stock up on fido's formula and those little milk bone cookies that Molly and Luka love!

Loving my Oldies Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Shoot!! That can really be called going ahead in leaps and bounds. You must be so happy YG to see this confidence coming to the fore. I bet Kelpiehoundmum and Shannon will treasure the experience and photograph as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
