Louise is Shy

Louise is a very shy dog.  In addition to being shy, she is a country dog still getting used to the hustle and bustle of suburban life.  The yard has a post rail fence and a walking path along the back.  Groups of people and people with dogs are constantly walking by particularly during the evenings and weekends.  Louise can detect these people way before us humans know anyone is around.  She will run up to the fence and bark at the people with dogs but is afraid to approach the fence if it is just people going by.  She will pace up on the deck.  Desensitizing a shy dog to new sounds and smells is a slow process but well worth the effort.

Checking to see if anyone is on the path.
