So I got a new cur gyp about a week ago and she's still acting very nervous and timid around me. I usually raise dogs from pups so I've never had an issues bonding with a new dog. The gyp is around 2yrs old and I try to go out to her kennel and spend a few minutes with her every hour or two. Early last week I also chained her up out with me while I hung out in the front yard doing yard work and ect. She gets excited when I walk out to her kennel but the minute i let her out she tucks her tail acts real timid. Any advice on how to bond with her. I know it's only been a week but just wanted to know of any tips to speed up the process. Thanks!

Get you a few packs of cheap hot dogs. Every time you let her out pet her praise her and give her one

I went through the same thing with my dog Dixie (BMC/Walker). I just get loving on her and taking me with her and when I fed her I would sit next to her bowl while she ate and pet her.

Side Bar: Some people will disagree with what I did/do because some treat there dogs as tools and some as family and thats ok. With me it's family.

load he up in the truck and take her for a ride...then leash her up and take her for a long walk every day for at least a week...lots of petting and treats and she should improve...

If she will come to you don't worry about it just take her hunting with the other dogs .  Best way to bond with one is in the woods as she will see how you act and what you want and apply her self accordingly .  Some dogs are just shy its their nature it will take care of itself in the long run .

Thanks guys. I'm sure she'll warm up to me after a while. Fonzy I have a feeling it takes more than just 2 beers to get girls to warm up to you!

X2, mine are family. People say not to get close to your dogs but I've found that hard not to do.

I like keeping pups that I really I like because it helps to have that bond...and when the pup turns out just like I hoped it just doy bles the pleasure and helps in forming that special bond...
