My dog is becoming unlovable..?

You should give the poor thing to a family who will love her.

It's not that she has become unlovable. Its that you have become unloveable.

Treat her with respect. Your always yelling at her. The only time you have been giving her attention is when you've yelled at her. There is no magic switch to flick to make her your "old dog" again.

I over the last 10 years, the only thing someone you loved said to you were angry words while yelling, wouldn't you not want to be around them? wouldn;t you be scared that they were going to yell at you some more?

Rehabilitating your girl will take a lot of time and energy. start doing positive things with her. Fun exciting things like walks, playing outside with her, and giving her rewards and affection. Also, don't yell at her anymore. and don;t let anyone else yell at her either. She will start to come around.

However, a behavioural change like this could also be an indicator for some other underlying illness. Maybe have the vet give her a once over and make sure there is nothing else going on. She's now 10, so well into her senior years.

You shouldn't have been yelling at her all the time in the first place! Poor dog!

But, since the damage is already done, I suggest you just be really nice to her. It's going to take a LOT of love for her to start trusting you again. Pet her a lot, but if she acts scared, don't try to hold her in place and force her. Let her go and try to lure her to your lap with treats or a toy. Play with her for a bit. If she starts acting scared, just let her go and try again some other time.

Just show her love. You cant force it from her!! Like if she runs under something to hide from you don't pull her out of there just so you can hold her. You need to be patient with her, she'll come around! Also, throwing a bone to her wouldn't hurt anyone *hint*hint*!! (If you live in anywhere near one) Go to any Albertson's, they literally have bone with a little bit of meat left on it leftover from the meats they cut in the back, they sell them for really cheap! Just boil it till you think its good enough for her to eat then throw it outside, trust me it's worth it! She'll go crazy over it!!

Good Luck and don't give up!!

Dont Worry. Dogs are natural born lovers. Show ur dog love by giving her extra little treats, an cuddling with her. If she is not allowed, to chew on shoes, be sweet, and give her a shoe to chew on. Shell respect that ur not yelling at her, and gain ur respect. Even if she doesnt want you to pick her up, pick her up, and if she snaps at ur hand, then yank it away, and feel guilty, and ease up to you! Good Luck and I Hope this Helps!

Just stop yelling at her.

Give her treats.

Give her a reason to love you.

Be more cuddly of an owner =P

Good Luck! ;)

well i hope u know that wen u get a dog u r supposed to devote a lot of time to ur dog or tat will happen my advice is holding treats and petting her ALOT

Don't give up and keep trying so that she can gain your trust and be able to count on you for the love and attention she deserves. Good luck!

She has to earn trust from you.

Start by feeding her some treats by hand and rubbing her belly stuff like that

really? You did that to your dog? What kind of pet owner are you?
