We are having a new beginning

[Nana]

This is the first year with out Peanut. I am working on training Ta-Ya to be my mental health dog. She really is doing quite well. We go many places and I could not do that with out her with me. I bought a dog pouch(front pack), and she really loves being close to my heart as we travel around. I take her to stores,church, and many other place. She loves children and women. I am having a little trouble with her being afraid of men. If anyone has any ideas that will make her like men more I sure would like to know. I have a Dad, Husband, male grandchildren, and etc. She is fine with them. She doesn't trust men she doesn't know. I will keep being patient with her. Thank you for taking time to read my blog.

The only suggestion that I have is to very slowly let Ta-Ya be around men and especially men that are gentle and like dogs. Maybe let the men give the dog treats or toys or something like that.
