Maybe she needs a lot of toys, so she doesn't get so attached to just one? Just wondering. I would just coax her out of the carrier with treats or food before handling her for now, and hopefully she will come out of the possesiveness on her own as she gets used to having a loving home. Also, the more socialization she gets the better. Even an obedience class woudln't hurt, or clicker training - it's really easy to do clicker training yourself - any clicker webpage can get you started - all you need is a clicker and some treats!

its not her fault. Its all the love shes known is the love she got from the many puppys she raised while being kept in a small pen. Thats why she acts that way in her carrier and over the toy.sounds like her babies were snatched away at a young age and now she is "protecting" the baby(toy) all she knows is it was a person that took her babies before . she is looking for the love of a pup from that toy. PATIENCE> show her that love is now coming from you not a baby. Teach her that people can love her, thats something she doesnt seem to understand yet.show her that the she will get it.it just takes time sometimnes it happens fast sometimes it takes months. mel
