When you see Glenne outside, the first thing that you will notice is how agile, playful, and happy she is.
However, when she enters a home, she freezes and gets scared.
Glenne would immediately tuck her tail in between her legs, which meant she was frightened.
Ever since her owner adopted Glenne, a Jindosky, a mix of Jindo and Husky, she had always shown this behavior.
She felt terrified inside her home, which was odd because usually, dogs see their home as their happy place, their sanctuary.
What happened to Glenne?
The YouTube Channel featured Glenne’s case, and the first thing they notice was how terrified the poor dog was.
Upon entering their home, she ran inside the bathroom and wouldn’t move.
Soon, she went inside the walk-in closet and stayed there, frozen in fear.
Glenne’s owner was heartbroken, but she refused to give up.
Attempt 1: Yummy food
As a loving owner, the first thing she tried was to offer Glenne yummy food, but the dog didn’t come to her.
She had to carry Glenne to where the food bowl was.
Once there, she ate everything prepared for her.
She was hungry, but as soon as she finished, she dashed inside the closet again.
Attempt 2: Get your treats
Next, she tried to put treats around the house so that Glenne would try to eat them, but still; the dog hid inside the closet.
You can see how heartbroken Glenne’s owner was.
She was teary-eyed as she saw her dog shaking in fear and tucked in a little corner.
Attempt 3: The play mat & snacks
Then she realized that the floor might be the issue.
It might be really slippery, so she ordered play mats and placed them around the house.
She then scattered treats to entice her frightened dog.
It didn’t work, and Glenne ran back to her hiding place.
Saddened, she tried to bring Glenne outside, and once there, she became a different dog again.
Glenne jumped, ran, and played.
By night time, inside her home, Glenne rested fearfully inside the corner.
Her owner came to her and snuggled the poor door to sleep.
The next morning, Kritter Klub introduced a dog expert.
The first thing he did was monitor Glenne’s behavior.
In an interview with Glenne’s owner, she said she was not the first one to adopt the dog.
In fact, the first one adopted Glenne but returned her just after an hour.
Trauma: The capture cage
According to the expert, Glenne’s fear stems because she grew up in a shelter, and when she was adopted the first time, she saw the house as a capture cage.
When she was returned to the shelter after an hour, she viewed this as freedom.
Now that she’s adopted again, every time she enters a home, she sees it as a cage and not as the warm and cozy sanctuary that it should be.
The first thing that the expert instructed the owner to do was to first put her in her doggy bed.
There, she massaged her to feel at ease and start building memories.
In a few minutes, her stiffness was gone. She fell asleep!
Next, using a non-slip mat, they scattered some treats and slowly encouraged her to eat one at a time, then the owner brought her bed closer.
There, Glenne ran to her bed.
Slowly, the space they worked on got bigger, and soon Glenne was walking inside the house.
Her tail wasn’t tucked in between her legs anymore.
Glenne’s owner cried in joy as she saw her dog’s progress.
But what we love the most is how she never gave up on Glenne.
It’s easy to say that a dog can be too much work, and some would even return the dog to the shelter.
However, Glenne’s owner stayed with her and tried to understand her.
She never gave up, and now Glenne is building wonderful memories with her inside and outside their home.
