[QUOTE="Steely, post: 427448, member: 3301"] Oh Andy, that brought tears to my eyes......that was EXACTLY what happened. She just snuggled her nose under my chin and sighed. Lil Tesla, she is so sweet. Star, I can't find a phone number for dingo dog lady so I emailed her. I hope I hear from her. She also has a new book out - but she want 40.00 for it. Yikes. I will see if I can find those shows, do you remember the actual name of the show, cause then I look it up. Insane some of what you said really helps. Thank you, and I will try some of it. I am worried the clicker will make her more hyper, like oh a game, good, and then she spirals. I got 2 work for food toys off the internet, so I am hoping that will work. The stories I have read about dingo are that they are easy to train, but not Tesla. She is very very stubborn, and if she does find value in something than she doesn't want to do it. I knew that the first minute I got her home, and she had an accident. I scooped her up mid-accident and took her outside and said "potty". And the look on her face was just hilarious. Like why, what - I was going potting JUST fine, until you moved me here, where it cold and windy. Now I won't go potty, so there. Overall she is improving, and the garage technique is helping. Fetch is not her thing, she does not have that retriever thing in her - but we take long walks in the desert where she is off leash and she can hunt and run, which is work. Except when she eats her prey I pretend I don't notice the tail hanging out of her mouth. It really is just the barking thing, and it seems to happen because she "A" is talking to me. Getting dressed in the morning is like having a toddler around. She barks at me brushing my teeth, the hairbrush, the socks I pull out of my drawer. It all just seems so interesting to her. And so she barks? "B" When she is bored. Her toys are boring, I am boring, the house is boring, and we need to take a walk Mom. "C" When she wants attention. Last night she put her head on my tummy while I was on the couch, and whined, and snorted, which is better than a bark. So I started to pet her and she jumped up and tried to snuggle with me. That lasted one minute exactly, before she wanted to play. Nibble on my fingers, toss around on the couch, try to move me off the couch. I jumped up and said no, and put her in the garage. But it struck me that she really may not know how to cuddle. It may seem to kinda feel good to her, but at the same time it seems to overstimulate her. I really think that is the feral part. They do not get "pet" in nature, or cuddled with, so I wonder if she wants my attention but just doesn't know what to do with it. Anyway, I will stop rambling on..............Thanks for all your advice! [/QUOTE]
