Tas in wheel
Ever so slowly Tas has been creeping out of her shell. She now allows me to pat her while she sits on ther doghouse, and we have been working a little offleash. I will let Tass off her leash in a safe area and she will usually realise she is free, run around a little and comes very quickly when called. This little dog really wants to be with people, but just not too close. She will tolerate patting and harnessing, but otherwise would much rather be seen and not touched. She is still fearful of men and sudden movements.
Yesterday I ran The Girls at ADMA and tried Tas in wheel. I had to have help starting as Miley likes to get excited and spin around tangling everyone. In wheel, Tas was strong and kept the tug line tight the whole way around 4.5mi. The skis did not scare her nor did the poles. When we stopped for 30 second break, Tas kept lined out even when Avril and Miley tangled.
Tas is doing really well, has definately settled into this place and is still eating really well. Stress in this househld is not an issue, so I have not sensed any stress in her at all.
