Your wife was also the first one she met of the two of you and started forming their bond on their way home!
Treats, treats and more treats as you approach to pet her? Its hard to undo any trauma. When Pepper was little, we were sitting at a park bench and this big dude just suddenly came up to her an tried to pet her while she was sleeping, Pepper woke up TERRIFIED of this stranger and just lost it, and since then shes been leery of strange men. Pepper is such a mommas girl, she follows the gf around all day indoors. She HAS to be near the gf at all times. BUT she will only let me groom her. She has no problem letting us pet her or hold her anywhere, but when the grooming glove comes out, she will only let me do that.
Oh dang. I just realized today is the one year anniversary we got Pepper..lol

Happy anniversary PEPPER :icon17:

Your right, that first bond means everything and it being a 9/10 hour car ride home was huge ! And then 2 days after we got her I went to Zdayz and was gone for 4 days.
Funny story, my sister in-law who fostered her for a month was in town last week and spent the afternoon with us last week Ellie didn’t seem to want anything to do with her, we expected the opposite, we thought she would be all over her...... but that’s a dog for ya :bowrofl:

I hope the people involved tell the truth. It sounds like someone has been supplying false information to certain government 'officials'. :shakes head::shakes head:

One day we were going up to the mountains and there was alot of people going there too. She barked at every car that day for 2 hours straight. I got tired of it and while sitting in traffic, i started barking too. She looked at me with a puzzled look and literally stopped barking at cars from that day on.. :icon14:

Our trainer said that she was barking because she thought it was her job to protect us from scary cars, and when I started barking, she saw that as me taking over that job so she was able to relax. Now she acts perfectly in the car. :tup:

ps. I stopped barking too. lol
