I know it might sound wierd but as they live quite close have you considered asking them if they would mind you doing your own "homecheck??"

Well Sasha has departed and left for her new home, and we feel like cr**, we gonna get updated on her progress with some pictures every so often, now our other dog Sam sits on the couch looking out the window waiting for her to come home sad times but its for the best, the new owner has 14 years exp with GSD's and if anyone will bring her out of shell it will be her and her 6 GSD's

I'm sorry, but the last thing an insecure dog needs is to be the center of attention- this will only reward and escalate matters. This dogs needs a confident owner who can allow her to relate to the environment and become less shy...not to be given loads of cuddles.

I know this is not a behaviour section, but it has to said!

Think your abit late with your response Sasha has gone to a new home so case is dropped, as for the attention yes she does need more but not the way your talking, its all a case of rewarding the good behavior and not cuddling when she was insecure, People have dif ways of doing things and if read all the posts you would see she has gone to someone who has a vast exp of GSD's, all your doing is bringing up the sad feelings we felt as she had to go
