Thanks for the advice. My husband does feed her but as yet she will not walk with him alone. Although today she raced after him down the beach where he was with the other dogs and stayed with him until I caught up. However my 5 year old grandson was with my husband and Pip loves him. My husband throws balls for her and she runs off with them and then runs after our other dog who brings back the ball immediately. This is forming a bond with my husband although she will not deliberately give him the ball.
I neglected to say that the vet says she is older than2 but not more than 5 so she has probably been through a lot before she came to us. I also had another rescue Jack Russell who loved me too much but she wasn’t afraid of men so it was much easier.
Every day we go 2 steps forward and 1 step back. I don’t think she relaxes until I am with her. So it is no wonder she gets stressed. My other dog is snoring on the sofa while Pip is alert until I sit down beside her in the evening.The other dog loves my husband.
