Hello! I posted awhile ago about my dog not wanting to go out on a lead and having to be walked all the time, I was able to pull the money together for a no dog fence and we installed it yesterday. But it’s like she’s terrified to be in it? I don’t know why. She loves the dog park when we go but she’s resistant To going in this fence and spends the time looking for a way out. I tried treats and running with her to get her excited ( she has not gone potty in it either. ) what should I do? I stay out side and in the fence with her the whole time we are out there in hopes she knows I’m not leaving her. Things I have running in my head to help:
Go out every hour in the fence and hang out for 15 min. Walk her on her leash inside the fence Bring a toy out to try and engage her ( she’s not a very tot of war dog or fetch )
We rescued her from a shelter about 4 months ago and I guess idk if she was kept in an outdoor pen before then for long periods of time or something? So I’m worried bringing her toys out there would make her think we are moving her out there.
