I have had Corona since the day she was born. This is one of the reasons why she has severe separation anxiety and depression. Corona becomes frightened very easily. Corona needs to be approached slowly with a calm voice. Corona needs attention all the time. She loves to lick and sometimes her licking becomes uncontrollable. She is still only 1 years old so training is in progress. Due to this Corona will sometimes growl or whine in attempts to get affection. She loves belly rubs. Corona has a putting off bark and growl but she is not mean or vicious. In reality Corona is just scared. This is why I say slowly and calmly approach her. Now once Corona knows and trusts you her big fun loving personality will come out. She is very vocal and sweet.
