hi all,
this is my first post here. so bare with me till i learn the posting systems. lol
i have an unspayed female gsd,whom is 1 yr 4months old,aprox 100lbs,whom i purchaced from a breeder at age 12weeks.3 weeks after getting her i got very sick, i had been sick throughout her formative time when i should have been training her about the world.i requested the breeder take her back ,very early after i had gotten ill,and she had declined me.not wanting her to go to the pound,and not realising how ill i was and would become. i kept her.i had almost died 2 times last year,from this,had to have nursing in the home, couldnt eat,the whole 9 yards.now i have recovered enuff (albeit damage done to myself and her)to be as close to normal, beeps....well not normal. i realise now i should have rehomed her, but im now committed to trying to make right the lack of training that had occured. shes unsocial,fearful of other humans, and cant walk on a lead without pulling me to death. i cant walk her more than 1 mile without having to return home, because my back is in spasm,my hand/arm is numb, shes paniced to end all,and i just dont know what to do.i am using a choke collar,and lead. she wears a basket muzzle. as we've had some not so great reactions without it.it also makes her walk better,for whatever reason.pulls less looks back at me,instead on irate panic. we dont have money for a trainer,due to being on disability/nursing bills. shes also very insecure and has anxeity type barking. she cowers but no ones ever done anything to her. you yell for someone to bring in the iced tea or something,and shes down on her back. we've never hit her or hurt her in anyway. is this anxeity related?
can anyone offer suggestions,i have worked with many large dogs,but just never encountered this before.how do i get her over this?
