FANTASTIC!!! Just keep trying to get any amount of time in a positive encounter. 7 minutes is fantastic.
And I LVOE to hear they turn their backs which is a big sign of trust!!
Don;t worry, we will get Trudie out of chasing. It is a process. For now keep trying to keep them focused on food etc. As time goes by that builds and there is less of a need to chase to protect. AND as they build confidence the need to chase will lessen as well. Happens in every intro, we will get through it. Just part of the process.
So yes, that urge (negative to chase) will go away. The play aspect of chase may remain but will not be negative.
I am reading a lot of positives. I am not at all worried. We will take it step by step and build on the positives and build their trust in each other and their confidence.
The more times they avoid negativity the more they build that trust and confidence and the less feeling they have to protect themselves or their territory.
Keep feeding as you are, making that positive association and use distraction to make every encounter as positive as possible and try to avoid any negativity.
Keep up the great work!! Sounds really positive.
