Aurora has been with us for a week and she's doing pretty great. Our main focus in working with sweet Aurora is around reducing her timidity. Aurora really loves people but, she just lacking in the confidence department!
Her first couple of days included a lot of crawling, pancaking and staying low to the ground. You can see this below.
We are working on this a number of ways:
1) Aurora is rewarded when she's up moving all all four legs.
2) We just let her be and she can come and go as she wants - no force, no making her engage with us.
3) When she does start to crawl, pancake or stay low to the ground, then we just move away and don't say anything.
Here's Aurora at day 6 with us. This is a work in progress but, isn't she doing amazing?! I will say, she's a wonderful little gal and who ever adopts her is going to be very lucky.
