    Re: Gaining trust with a previously neglected BP

    What I've done with timid ones is to sit leaned back on the couch and tuck them inside my shirt (from the collar) while watching TV. Start short, go longer as she gets better. She gets a nice warm hidey spot that's also you, and hopefully starts associating you with "safe". Eventually she'll start loosening up and exploring, and hopefully poke her head out to see what's up.
