I'm getting worried

[Karen]

Find another male friend, or several of them, to help you with getting Jesse used to men again. Keep her close to you, and reassure her that everything is okay when they slowly approach. Take this slowly, work on it whenever you can, remind the guy(s) to move slowly near you until she gets more used to them. You can give them treats to give her, or have them throw a ball for her if she likes fetch, let her lean on you if she wants. Just keep speaking quietly to her, letting her know everything is fine.

It is too bad your Dad doesn't like Jesse any more, but there are plenty of male people in the world who can help you with this.

I sure wish you were closer my son and hubby would help . Dogs who are terrifed of men just warm up to my guys in nothing flat.
We love springers like crazy here .
If you have an artist freind who is male artists think differently than others and it seems they give off a different vibe than regular men . I know it sounds crazy but I have seen it becouse of my to guys are artists . Had a rotti who had been beaten by 3 men in the relationship with the women who would get her. Saw her cower from the kennel guy (who she knew ) she ran full force in to my hubby's lap and she became his dog.
In no time she came to be comfortable with other men but not trusting of them . It will take a lot of patience and work, when you do get your dad to try make sure he shows no fear or she'll pick up on it. Good luck.

Thank you both very much. I will try to find a couple of guys who are willing to work with her. I don't know many, my cousin is one for sure. Maybe I can try again to persude my dad to give her a chance.

Do you think that obedience classes would help? She is also very agressive towards other dogs. She has always been that way too. She finally has began to trust Sally (Rachel - rizzy's - dog).

Thank you so much again!
Steph and Jesse
