I know exactly how you feel! Jada is terrified of everything and everyone. The other day a friend stopped over and Jada barked at him as in "Get back away from my mommy". It was nice to see her trying to protect me instead of her running to hide behind me for protection, shaking and scared.
I am trying to slowly introduce her to new people without overloading her. My other dogs would have been corrected immediently for their behavior so I'm not saying that I think its a good thing. It was just nice to see my chicken dog trying to protect me! I think it means we are making progress!!

Congrats! It's nice to see that new found confidence in them isn't it?
