Progress report Week 5

Its been hills and valleys these past two weeks.

Quinnie has decided that we are friends, but occasionally she forgets. She will always come out of her crate for petting if I sit down in the living room but hasnt been very consistent when in the yard and hanging out in the house.

She also had a brief few days where she forgot that doorways were her friend too. Getting her inside became the chore that it used to be and on a few occasions I had to crawl around the yard to catch her and bring her back inside.

She is still a night mare on the leash, all panic and belly crawling. I brought her for a quick car ride to a nearby park and when she got out of the car she tried to crawl underneath it. To be hoenst, I have no idea what I was expecting, but, lesson learned. At this point we are just working on getting out of the house, into the car, going for a drive and coming back home without it being a traumatic experience. Lots of praise but she is so scared she could care less about treats.

Quinnie has started to bark at guests. I'm not entirely sure if that is progress or not. She is clearly scared of them but where she used to stay quiet and hope that no one noticed her in her crate she now barks in warning.
