My name is Elinor!

My husband and I adopted linor, a ~7 week old German / chow chow/pitt/cattle dog 5 years ago. What we were told is that she and her sister were found on side of road.

From puppyhood, Elinor has been very anxious. She has had multiple rounds of training & is e collar trained.

She is afraid of new people and reactive to dogs. She gets nervous if it’s cold outside and will refuse to go out. She gets shaking panic attacks over very small things. She spends a lot of time hiding in closets.

She is a sweetheart with all people she knows. She nipped someone when she was a puppy, has not bitten since. However, we know how to manager her and she gets no opportunities to bite. She doesn’t meet strangers or new dogs without muzzle. Once she gets used to a person we take muzzle off.

We’ve learned a lot about how to care for her and she has a loving home that is safe for her and for us/our guests. She is becoming harder however for us to care for well with two kids.

We love her.
