What how they "break" wild Mustangs. i  is all about building trust in very small steps. I keep dogs I am working with in my back yard. I would walk out a couple times a day Morning and night. Maybe during the day. Take a dog biscuit or some treat, just walk outside and set it down and walk back in. Make sure it is something she really likes. After doing this for a couple days try to give it to her. If she will not take it just set it down and walk away. If she she takes it do not make a big deal about it just walk back in. If she does not take after a week or so walk out offer the treat then just walk back in. She she should give in and take it. But just give her the treat and leave. After she has taken the treat a few times try a quick touch and just walk away. Take it in small steps. The tone of voice is important. Also do not yell at other dogs. She is watching. My dogs do not like my dad because he yells at his dogs. Even though he does not yell at my dogs they take turns staying over in the kennels and see him yell at his dogs. If she is a good dog it is worth the work.
