Ah hah. Well, you already know all the tricks and coaxing methods, so doubt if I could possibly have anything to add, but atta girls. However, being a windmill tilter, and general twinklehead, I'd be tempted to select from your established pack, Baby's fave of faves (if there is one dog she prefers) and have that dog help you de-shell her. Not the same as our new Baby sitch (who btw had never been on a lead, etc, nor exposed to much besides tlc - which is a bonus- but not much assistance in getting her housetrained, nor O-trained. One day we'll have another discussion on um top breeders vs millers and that should be a howling good time. Phew Anyway, what about selecting a training buddy to get some monkey-see and monkey-do going? Or at least monkey-do and other monkey observe the safe and wonderful you? *G* Can you just walk by her and fling some steak or chicken morsels in her direction? What about a Noof-scented woobie for crate, etc? Our baby had never been on a lead (I mean can you even feature it? My last nerve) and breeder warned me to go slow as she'd be a whirling dervish. No whirling. No dervish. We did lead and collar crash course on the three-hour trip home. Then we stuck her between the two lead-trained to heel gals- and voila. Nearly instant at heel with pack. Zero problems. However, your Baby won't allow you to touch her- (egad) I'd lie on the floor with a steak platter on my chest. *G* I think you are onto something with the one den for all method (dogs sleeping in master's bed) even granny lazer dog keeping books have chapter and verse about that- in prose that would curl your hair- so hilariously decorous and spiffy. And also the tether method- if that does not scare the be-doodle out of her. No doubt a play bow or other mimicking of canine behavior by you might cause bowel and bladder evac at this point. Tazer Pom still expresses her anal glands- should she see nail clippers- so that's nice. *G* Wonder might you tranq her with a med in treat- to get her to allow you to detox mug hair and etc? Bright white teeth of a baby- I think you've got time to get her to become a dog - I say six months, Noofs. You underestimate your dog whispering skills- imho and from years of seeing your handi-work. BTW- love the Goth Fam's Pom-x Fox do the behaviors. Smartly anticipating the commands and whatall. Just darling. We do similar - times three- (think circus act) and then pass the hat. I collect interesting coined phrases by gp. Latest at a stop light "That's a nice set of teacups." Oh yeah. Phew.
