Pepper, who was so afraid of noise and us that the corner of the wall seems to be her only comfort. I hope she will be able gain more confidence and start loving the "hand" which she has a phobia of. I really wonder how one is able to lift their hand up to shatter their image that our 5 fingers meant a pat on their heads, a rub on their tummy and NOT something abusive. The hurt she felt must've been so immense that she shivers upon the sight of my hand slowly advancing towards her. However, for the first time today, we were able to get her to walk further away from her comfort zone with the help of treats though she moved back right away and she even nibbled treats off my fingers. I really hope she will be able to be confident as she once was.
Today, I also dog-walked for the very first time. Indeed, it is tedious work as I needed more strength to hold them and also to ensure that they do not cross my path. I still have loads more to learn.
