This is very important. My dog is very shy. When I first got her a few days ago she wouldn't let me pet her but I worked with her and the next day she was walking up to strangers but I can't get her to walk on a leash because it scares her. If I try to put it on her I have to start all over with her, getting her to let me pet her again. Any help anybody can give will be greatly appreciated. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I have been training my dog with the "clicker", which reinforces all positive behavior with a "click" and a "treat". I am amazed at how quickly he will associate a behavior I want him to learn with the sound of the clicker and a treat. We are currently taking a class, but there are books and web sites with information on this type of training. Good luck.
