Hiya, I've had my Douge De Bordeaux for just over a year now. She was ill treated by a family member and so I decided to rescue her and give her the stable loving home every dog needs. She is just over 18 months old and was very scared when we got her. She couldn't eat properly and was very timid. She has come a long way and we have built up her confidence but she is still nervous and seems to cower down at strange times. I thought that being so young, I would be able to rid her of all worries but there are some lingering effects that I would love to overcome. We no longer see the nasty little family member who abused her as a pup and I am well aware of the emotions that come with owning a bordeaux. How can I reassure her even more. Having my beautiful dog cower when I walk past or raise my voice to the kids slightly, is heartbreaking. Any advice please?
