Have a 4 month old ridgeback female. been skiddish since the day i got her. hard to catch pet sumtimes. how can i get her to loosen up sume????

Can you give us some backround on the pup? How old when you got her? Are you the first owner. How old when when she left the litter. Any house training issues? Any chewing issues. Has anyone raised there voice at the pup or showed anger when the pup did something wrong? How many members in the family? Is everyone equally excited about having this new pup? Does this pup cling to a certain family member? Does this pup appear to favor male or females more? How does this pup get along with other K-9s? Can you tell if she overly dominant or submissive in personality?

With a little more info we might be able to better assess the sit. I am familiar with the breed.
