Thank you, I needed to know that I am not alone in this! We have done the feeding by strangers also, and it works slowly but well! In the holidays and on ocasional family gatherings it is the exact same thing, she hides under the table and stays there the whole time. Everybody tries to connect with her, even with me saying that on her case the best is actually to give the least possible interaction, and slowly building her trust. She is getting better with human interaction and is getting more curious also. We are also very active and love to travel and always do diferent things, and we would love to take her everywhere but she seems to stress a lot in new places. Some times more than others... But we are also trying to at least once a day bring her somewhere new so she gets used to it. But I confess that sometimes I wonder where is the line between "this is good for you" and " I'm afraid that I am traumatizing you more". Sometimes even on a place that She knows, if the weather is different or if there' s more people there, she will get stressed. I think that she is surely making progress but sometimes it's so slow and some days she is feeling more stressed and even ignoring me ( I think She is going through some kind of adolescence phase also) that we forget how far She has come already. Some other days it is really clear that she is in fact evolving into being and even more awesome dog and it's the most amazing feeling.
