If she needs a professional behaviourist, welfare will sort that out, all vet checks so far have concluded a healthy but emaciated dog only.

Not sure if it is possible or practical but I defintiely think a resident dog could help the poor thing.

Rescue bitch "Biscuit" update
I think you could say she looks pretty relaxed here! For the first time she has been happy to sit in the living room with us all evening, normally she would have started screaming and climbing into corners, and then 'trotting' to relieve the stress.
I have spoken to a lovely lady today called Shona Moon, she is one of the Tellington TTouch practitioners and a dog behavourist. She is coming to see if she can help Biscuit next Sunday. I have explained the extent of her problems and she agrees she is pretty troubled but not to despair as we have had some improvement albeit very small. Today she has been alot better in many ways but I now know not to expect more tomorrow as last time she had a 'good' day we were back to square one the following one!!

Some progress then...fab.
I think TTouch could really help her too. Brilliant.
Tango only started being happy to be tickled with something in her mouth about 1/2 months ago. She will have been with us 2 years in April...these things take time.
So glad there has been progress though. Keep us posted won't you?
