We got a Great Pyrenees mix from the shelter today. I made the mistake of letting her off leash in our big fenced back yard. But now she just runs from us and hides behind trees and bushes when we go out to check on her. She's due to take medicine with dinner tonight, but I'm betting she won't come in at all. She's really scared. I think it would just be traumatic for her if we tried to chase her down and forced medicine down her throat, so we're thinking we'll just leave her be, and leave the back door open with food just inside- hoping that if she gets hungry enough she'll come inside. Do you think that's the right approach, or should we bring her food outside and leave it under a tree for her? It's raining, but not too cold outside.
