Re: [pyrnet] Our Clothesline Robbers

Our Pyr did the same thing when we adopted her from the shelter. She was apparently kept in a dog run 99% of the time and on the rare occasions that they would let her in she must have misbehaved and been punished. The poor girl is still terrified of banging noises and humans other than us who try to pet her, but she loves running around our house on all surfaces.We put treats on the floor and on the stairs to get her to overcome her fears.You just need patience for your baby to overcome her negative imprinting. Ours is almost 4 now and we're still working on her fears. She is our third rescue Pyr and they all had "challenges" to overcome. Good luck!

I have a young fella in rescue now who is petrified to walk inside a
building on any kind of flooring...the shelter was calling him Bert, but we
call him skidmark as he plants his butt, splays his rear legs and we skid
him across the floor. I finally moved his crate to just inside the back
door and Skidmark is being so brave now, taking 3 big steps across the
evil floor into his crate...LOL!
