I'm sure you are right. I don't want to jeopardize what we've already built. I think she'll need at least a year (like yours) maybe more, to get comfortable. I don't think pushing her is going to work either. I'm going to continue working with her at her own pace and stick to what has worked, like you say. Plus with the dogs, it's added stress for Lily. We are going to take it slowkimmer3d I'd urge you not to be too expectant of results too soon. Possibly not "push" different techniques...but stick with what you're both familiar with and has worked to this point. Again , again and again. Build up trust and more will come in time. (I think thats where tabbytom is going in his post above)
My little stray female is just becoming real friendly after 1 1/2 years indoors!
I can finally pick her up and cuddle her! Prior...she instantly ran away. Finally comfortable within the whole house, too.
I never thought I'd see the day when I could pick Bug up....he's finally warmed up ....after almost 2 years indoors. Occasionally, when he's real hungry ...he'll jump up on my lap to announce (demand) its feed time! I never anticipated this!
Yes, complete, full trust and integration can take years!
It sure is rewarding though.
