My Sheltie was extremely shy. We brought her home at 8 weeks, and her first impulse was to get away from these new giant humans. So she ran between the fridge and the wall and tried to turn behind it. Soundly stuck. Dad had to figure out how he could move the fridge without risking crushing her so that I could grab her. After I could let go of her, I put her in her carrier and started to make supper. Every time I had a major clang of pots or whatever I look over and she’s in front, watching me. I made tiny noises and heard her scurrying to the back corner to hide from everything.She was also a dog who had a mind of her own, very smart and dominant, with a hair trigger "Ack! Save me, My Jenny! trigger. Interesting puppyhood
