Alice's Fears HELP!

You bet! Try and come back and post up her reactions so maybe the technique can be tweaked a bit for her. With my girl Venus, she had a TON of ''play''''toy'' drive, so even getting her all into a game she liked, say tug or fetch, and then passing the rope or ball off to someone else really helped her as she started to see that ''good things'' come from those ''scarey people'' so they weren't so scarey after all.

 

ask a friend to film and post some videos

 

First thing you gotta stop is holding her in place when she doesn't want people touching her.

Do you have a friend you have have come over to just do something normal, watch a movie or something while you have the dog by your side in the room.

Find a treat she REALLY likes (cheese? bits of chopped up raw beef? find something she LOVES) and have your friend gradually toss out treats (not handing her treats at first, just tossing them to the floor as a gradual reward for calm behavior) as you guys watch the movie. Don't have your friend pay attention to the dog or try to talk to her. Slowly make the treat tossing have a little less distance so the dog has to come a little closer to your friend over time. Don't have your friend look at the dog or touch her.

Also reclining on the floor or sitting on the floor will help make the person giving out the treats less scary.

You need to work very slowly with nervous dogs.

Posting a video would help a bit too - we really have no clue how scared the dog is, how she reacts with subtle body language, etc.
