Do you think maybe she hates you leaving through the front door because maybe that was the last door that her old friend Mistral passed through, then never came back? Maybe the front door has a bad association for that reason? Maybe you could try taking another dog through the front door with you, then return quickly? Make a habit?Yoorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898051554190306177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19332364.post-76385910470527617812009-07-14T19:42:54.921+02:002009-07-14T19:42:54.921+02:00Poor Mia...but so lucky to have you.

However I did leave her in the garden, without her friend yesterday and it worked beautifully. He is old and I'd worry about him outside in winter. If necc. I think Mia would be OK. After all, the terrace has a roof and she'd be out of any rain. We'll see. Basically it's working very well so far. Thanks for the suggestion. It's a good idea but this is one tricky dog.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19332364.post-11747977833455651612009-06-20T14:57:00.707+02:002009-06-20T14:57:00.707+02:00Glad to see the updates here, though belated (me t...Glad to see the updates here, though belated (me that is).

Don't feel bad that you had considered putting her to sleep. She is a dog with a lot of issues and you should always look back and think of all the wonderful things you did for her.

I have a guy who comes in every week thru that gate - he works on the land for three hours - and she is terrified of him. Obviously she's been hit in the past by a man, but she's scared of women too, perhaps just a little less?<br /><br />Lady Jicky, they have a really large covered terrace and chairs to sleep on. Trouble is when it's cold or rainy it can blow in. There is a cellar downstairs and I could easily leave that door open with comfy dog beds inside. Goodness knows tho if she'd go in - perhaps scared she'd be shut in but that is certainly something I must try. Part of the problem is that Beau doesn't 'do' rain! Anyway, things may improve by winter as they have already. Mia really is getting so much better in many other ways. <br /><br />Thanks so much.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19332364.post-63116251271310679982009-06-06T09:04:21.935+02:002009-06-06T09:04:21.935+02:00Oh Jilly I am so happy!!!
