I've never had to deal with a shy Chi but I would think that if you walk up to the crate and let her see smell a treat in your hand, then sit on the floor next to the crate, with the treat in your hand and your hand on your lap, where she can see it and talk softly to her, calling her name, she might, after a few tries, venture out. I used a similar tactic to get a bird to come to me. Gloria P In a message dated 1/6/2009 6:26:11 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi, I recently, yesterday, adopted a chi. She was originally from a breeder then went on to a few fosters. She stays in her cage and is very very skiddish. She is 6yrs old. It takes her all day, but she will come out her cage, eat and run back in. I sit on the floor so she will come out, but she won't. When I put my hand in the cage, she backs way to the back corner, so I retreat. What can I do to make her feel at ease? Brett **************New year...new news.
