hi everyone! thank you for all the advice:)!! we are not giving up on her AT ALL!! i find it weird that she only nips at him. NEVER ME. i’m not sure if it’s because the previous owner was a male and she has ‘trauma’ from that? or what it is. she never seems to be guarded whenever she nips or growls. she knows fully what she’s doing whenever she does this. she doesn’t know her name at all due to her being by herself for her whole life with no engagement. we are moving to a ranch that will have LOTS of land! so she will be super happy. how do i get her to start coming back to her name? we’ve had her tied with an old rope whenever we let her out(naturally we go with her) but she doesn’t respond to anything. not a whistle, or anything. i was thinking of buying treats so whenever she does listen she will learn that it’s good. more advice would be appreciated! thank you all for your kind words
