A huge milestone for Shasta - Page 2

We've had Shasta since she was 8 weeks old so we have to take full responsibility, lol. I wouldn't exactly call her fearful, but she is timid. (Timid isn't really the right word either. Cautious, maybe.) Thankfully, she loves people and other dogs SO MUCH that I don't ever see her as a fear biter but she is highly leash reactive to other dogs and nothing we've tried has really helped much with that. I don't think the leash reactivity is a result of fear, though, but frustration because she wants to greet the other dog RIGHT NOW.

I'm sure you'll have your own "out of crate day" soon.
