Stages

Videos coming shortly.

As bold as she was and she was downright bold, this gal appears to be in a fear stage. They all go through it and then get past it. It is part of development. What you can't do is nuture or coddle the fear. We know how to do this and the puppy becomes more confident by building coping skills. They must build coping skills. 

We are not sure what triggered it but we are experienced enough to know this is just the stage she is in and you handle it appropriately. So, if she ignores you or isolates herself, just realize it is simply a stage that they will all go through. None of the pups are timid. It is amazing how many assume without realizing the process that they all must go through. She may be past it by the visit and someone else may be in it or not. Right now it is only her.

What you see at this stage is not who they will be. By the next visit, you get a clearer picture. 

For now, she hangs out in beds and in tunnels or my lap but she is acting strange when Nathan has commotion around him. 

We will see what Saturday brings with new people, lots of commotion and well a new room to play in.

As we have visitors, we are unable to have the pups in the kitchen. People and new
