Overall though, she's a really great pup.
You might want to teach her as you would a command. Hannah had resisted my even reaching down to pet her so I taught it as *let me touch you* with a reward. It really worked. Actually it amounts to my asking her permission to pet her, but once she has that notice and understood I am able to pet her.
As far as not wanting to go out by herself, I have that situation with Tucker. Most of the time I just make Hannah go out with him whenever I want him to go. Not as easy as it sounds as Hannah is a late sleeper and Tucker gets up early. I've had Tucker for 9 years and it still is an *issue* nine out of ten times.
