Small dog behavior

[Bitch Ruby]

So I got a dog for my dad she's to small to penatrate and we have had her almost a year when we first got her she was one I found online becuse my dad's other dog had been hit months before it was horrific like big woodsman farmer in tears and depression he loved this dog she was very aggressive kennel aggression the whole bit but my dad was relentless and within a year they were inseparable he went on vacation she wouldn't eat or use the restroom and dad would always worry but she trusted me and if I carried her outside she would go I even locked her pen during the day so she had no choice but to come up on the couch and I made steak and cut it up soaked it in broth and put it on her food only way I could get her to eat well he was in the hospital ok sorry new dog she's a mess got her from some Amish and idk what they did but she's always hiding like i have beat the crap out of her she pees if u try to get her cuz she's scared she opens up around my husband and was ok with me until she was excited seeing him home after he was gone and hoped up on the bed and peed all over him he got mad I gently put her outside Said a million sorrys and cleaned him up I know that sounds weired but if u new my husband and germs and pee and poo ud get it but anyway the dog is scared of me like she will b out happy playing I come in the room she runs in fear iv tried everything treats extra love the whole bit but she acts scared yet if she's at my house at night she loves to lay on my legs and sleep like don't get it cuz she even fallows me around to do chores and use to play fetch with me till she just stopped how do I help her I feel like something happened that hurt her but idk what and Idk how to fix it aggressive I get but scared like if u call her she almost gets to u then half rolls and pushes herself to u like she's hurt idk what breed she does try to help herd and is a mix with some kind of collie. I think she is very young like 2 maybe she's had 3 heats that we know of and vet said young but not sure on age we do live on a farm, I hate it but had to use a muzzle for a bit she almost killed a chicken and 1 week later no longer need the muzzle super smart but just can't figure out the fear of like everything- sorry so long

You should probably get some local dog behavioralist to have a look at her. This is not going to be a quick fix and will need hands on help from someone experienced who can directly work with the dog.

Well are vet passed waiting for a new one and we are so out the way an hour to the nearest big city but I'll try and look but unless I deal with her car sick I don't see anyone coming out to work with her I don't get it he yells at her and she will get scared but then is right back under his feet begging for attention I yell and she takes of and hides my husband said I was jealous I think as a joke but it bothers me that she acts like that with him mean come on I feed her love her get her treats he doesn't even like to pet her yet she hears him home and goes nuts to get outside to see him well I come home she see me and runs to her kennel

It is kind of hard to read your posts since you do not use any commas, periods or structure.
But if I get it, you have an abused dog that is extremely scared and needs help.
Why do you or anyone yell at her? You literally should not do that even to a regular dog.

Also I am talking about a vet. You need a behavioralist - someone who works and does psychological help, raising and training with dogs like maybe Cesar Millan (not the best example) but it is to show what I mean.

OK sorry I don't think you get small town farm life. I have yelled at her but only when she has harmed another animal like my chickens and only to stop the action she is engaged in doing as in trying to catch it. She then spends time in her kennel and is only allowed out when muzzled. We try not to yell at her but as we are on a farm and I cant whistle I call out to her she even understand hands signs when I tell her and point she getting it and fallows command. I did yell when she peed on my husband, but I have never physically hurt her in anyway. The wonderful advice for a dog behaviorist would b great if something like that was around but that's not how it works for farmers who don't have the extra cash laying around for it. I may seam upset but it's only because I brought home a snack for her and she wouldn't take it till I put it on the ground and walked away. Iam just looking for advise as to ways to help her trust me as she came to us like this it wasn't anything we did. If there is nothing further to offer in advice other then look for a behavioralist then iam sorry but maybe I need help from someone who doesn't depend on others and money to fix an issue. Iam not being insensitive to issue this is reality in my life. Victoria Stilwell has great videos and some of what she has shown has helped just looking for more advise from other dog owners who might b in or have been in similar situations you know DIY (Do It Yourself).
