Puppy Scared (of brush/water/towel)
Hi all
We have a 8month puppy, she is a rescue dog we have had her for around 4 weeks now.
She is scared of a few things we have discovered and would like some advice on how to get around this.
She will not let you brush her , its a very soft brush but she howls and wriggles and tries to bite you, then she wont even let you stroke her with your hand for a while afterwards.
She hates water, doesnt like going out in the rain
She will not let us dry her with a towel does the same as when you try to brush her.
I was informed by the rescue people that they think she was mistreated by her original owner so we could find other things that she doesnt like.
