my dog is 7 human years old. her previous owners abused her and know she is nervous and trembles around everyone. she is afraid to bark. i need some help on making her feel more at home with her new loving family.How can i make my dog mor comfortable?
Every dog's situation varies. In abuse dogs cases they are perfectly capable of loving a new owner but you have to realize their trust in humans has been broken. You have to show her.
Always be postivie. Never slap her or tap her to correct her, she has had too many bad experiences.
Provide lots of food,water, treats.
Try petting her, and showing her you care.
This next one might sound weird, but honestly, it worked. Been through your scenario.
Lick her on the nose. To dogs this symbolizes love.
Just try and keep your voice down, violence down and show positive emotions. Time can heal all wounds.How can i make my dog mor comfortable?
sit down with her, if she is small then bow down so u r kindof at her same level. dont sit too close just as close as she will let you but still be comfortable. talk to her sooftly and maybe throw some treats to her. you could also try giving treats by hand to show that people are a good thing. talk to her softly and maybe call her name. encourage good behavior and give her lots of soft comfortable beds and blankies. dont make it too open though. let her have some privacy so maybe a doggy tent or soething
Have a crate for her that can be her safe place. Cover with a blanket and put toys inside. If she is shy, she needs to develop confidence before venturing out to her new world.
