She's nuts...she still runs from my dad half the time and she's lived with him since she was a pup. She likes him and will go up to him but she spooks easily. She was a chicken from day one, as an 8 week old pup she'd shy away and put her paw out to push people away (when being held). She's never been one of those friendly, happy-go-lucky pups. The day I got her (it was at my work) I put her in the kennel with Nebo and she didn't move, she just froze and acted scared. When I drove home she crawled behind my back and didn't move for the entire drive, what normal puppy acts like that? I attribute a lot of it to her being moved out of state 3 times before she was 6 weeks old. I think it made her kind of unstable. I took her to puppy classes and it actually seemed to make her worse. The more I tried to socialize her the more she freaked out. Since I've stopped trying to introduce her to new people, etc. she's honestly gotten better. I tell strangers not to pet her, now that she doesn't think every stranger is going to stick their hands in her face she's actually not as scared of them. She loves me and she loves her dog friends (she thinks she's tough with strange dogs, I swear she has little dog syndrome but she's good with dogs she knows, Keva and her are attached at the hip). She's pretty good with people she's used to, like with Corby she'll come up to him and lick his hands, sometimes even hang out by him and let him pet her, she loves to have her neck scratched. But if he moves too fast around her she bolts. She is terrified of children, I tried having my brothers/sisters kids nicely pet her and try to get her used to them but it didn't help. If we have company at our house she won't come inside, even if she hasn't seen the person she knows they are here and she won't come in. Yeah, basically she's a pretty mental dog, but I love her. She loves to go for walks, car rides, loves going to my work, she does enjoy life though I know it doesn't sound like it from what I just wrote. She's very happy to hang out with people and dogs she knows and she does like to leave the house too, she would just prefer people "look but not touch." She's super random too, like when I've had her in a tent or trailer with friends she's normally leary/spooky with she's all over them-in their face kissing them, wanting to sleep by them. She is by far the strangest dog I've ever known. Nebo and Keva aren't like that at all, both are great with strangers, Keva will sit there for attention from anyone all day long.
