Adjusting Senegals to New People

Postby Marguerite » Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:22 am

Hey,

I have a young (8 months) female senegal. She is very cozy and comfortable with me, which took about a week of positive reinforcement after she had a bad experience in her transit from the breeder to me, but now I want to ease her into new people while she is still young and it is a bit of a challenge. I'd like her to be good with my boyfriend especially and so I wanted to ask for some tips. Right now he's been trying to give her treats to ease her up to him but that hasn't been working so well. Sometimes she will "accidentally" hang out with him, then realize, and get the hell out of there (she is flighted). Let me know what you think a good course would be.

Thanks!
