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.

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
