A shy pup needs a familiarisation plan. How can the world become a place of discovery and enjoyment, rather than fear? The answer is by providing a safe haven, and then practicing discovery, seeking, enjoyment at every opportunity, always giving the pup choice of whether or not to interact with novel things, and always allowing enough time for choice to unfold.
Seeing her now, you'd never know she was ever shy. . . fabulous
