How to get my dog to like people?

Thunder Robot Asked by funadvice 2 months ago, 26 answers.

ok my dogs name is daisy and she's very scared of people I've been putting her on a leash and bringing her out of her pen and making her interact with people but all she does is duck her head and lower her tail between her legs now we need to get rid of her but I'm not going to get rid of her til she's tamed if you have any ideas on how I could tame her to liking people please let me know...im desperate!!!

wht is tsk?...anyway your dogs are inside at night and running around on a one acre fenced in area...my dog is in a pen big enough for two and a half cars to fit inside it at night and running on not quite 2 acres but a little more than one acre for 2 to 3 hours during the day I DO NOT TREAT HER WRONG the only difference between our situations is your dog is used to people my dog is GETTING used to people I've never made her go to people until now im not going to let somebody that doesn't even know me say that I don't treat my dogs right I have 5 and every single one of them is happy, healthy, respected, loved, and cared for I'm not going to get another dog because 5 is enough but I can confidentally say that if something happened to one of my dogs and I wanted another dog I will get one and he/she will turn out just fine just like all my dogs did/ including daisy she has one down fall...that doesn't mean I wasn't a good owner...it just means she was scared I thought it was mean to make her go to people but now im trying...oh and by the way daisy may not live IN a house with a loving family...but she DOES live AT a house with a loving family...thanks for your help...Jesus loves you!! bye!

YOU ARE GETTING RID OF DAISY BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO BREED ANOTHER DOG FOR PROFIT!!!

and the 'jesus loves you' was the cherry on the top of this sundae.

WWJD? (what would jesus do?)

for the thousandth time there is MORE TO THE SITUATION THAN ME GIVING HER AWAY TO BREED thats not the only reason and even if I was just giving her away for thta thats still NOT TREATING HER BADLY and im probably not giving her away if I can teach her to stay out of the road like the other 2 dogs of mine...and for the second time stop chewing me out for crap YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

I think you should give her away. Probably best all around...

you know I've never seen somebody so quick to judge...I say she's in a pen and you have a heart attack like she has no room to move or something...I say she's only in it at night and you act like that wasn't even said..I'm not giving her away for sure but if I did it would be for many more reasons than you'll understand...not everyone is as perfect as you..okay?.. so whatever...bye...

Tell strangers not to look at her, talk to her or touch her when they first meet her. Tell them to stand up straight and talk to you. Talk about your dog, what makes your dog special, etc. She'll relax eventually and realize that people aren't out to 'get' her. After she's relaxed, the person can bend down and put a hand near her neck or shoulder (not on it). If she moves away, she's not ready to greet them. If she doesn't , they can pat her on the shoulder. Tell strangers to avoid reaching for her head. This can look aggressive to from a dog's point of view. Hope that helps!
