Really shy new puppy?

[Semi Sweet]

i would not get that dog unless you know for sure that you would be totally committed to it. A dog like that cannot just brought home, played with for a bit, and left alone for the rest of its life. You would need to really work with her. Be around her as much as you possibly can. NEVER use negative reinforcement, which means no hitting, no kicking, no slapping, no spanking. And NO yelling the first week or 2 shes there. You would have to keep her in a small room (like perhaps your bedroom or the bathroom) in a crate so that she always has a place to go when she is scared, like a sanctuary. Also if you have small children in the house, or if you have drama going on, I would not get her. Dogs can feel stress, trust me I know. I got into an argument with my mom, and my dog was sitting next to me shaking like a leaf. You dont want to expose a frightened dog to that.

If you know you can stay committed to this dog, and give it all the attention it deserves, AND know that you have the correct house environment for it. Then give it a try. But I would do a little extra research on how to handle dogs like that first.
