So I have been working with Lucy on her potty training and it is slow and steady. The big issue I am having is she is very timid of men. She came from a house with men and I dont really know how they treated her. I have friends that come over and a neighbor and she cowers down and barks. They get down to her level and she sometimes warms up to them. I have one friend that comes over and it is like she forgets who he is and does it all over again.
I never force her, I want her to gain the trust on her own. She does do a little better once she sees that Libby trusts them. But I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers.
She is doing very well with her crate training and goes in there on her own when I have to go to work.
It has just been the hardest for potty training, becasue I think he let her go wherever she wanted, so I have had to correct that issue and work on the correct way.

Both of our huskies warm up faster to women. I'm not sure why.

If I even raise my voice she cowers down, I think the previous owner wasn't very nice to her. I have had her a month now and she is getting there. Wouldnt give her up for anything.

I would have trust-worthy men visit and give them her favorite treats. Then they can give her the treats. Then work up to them giving her simple commands that she knows well, like sit.
