No advice really but I do sympathise. It takes quite a strict food management program to get Harlie motivated to do anything and even then it is hit and miss, I understand why as she has had alot of trauma in the past but it still gets disheartening sometimes. That said time and patience is winning through slowly, just the past few months alone she has made so much progress, it seems like the more confidence she gets from overcoming certain things is making her a little easier to win over on the next thing we ask of her. Its still very much baby steps but we are getting there as I'm sure you will too.
