I have a 18 month old BT, Lola and bought her about a year ago( last year xmas gift to my wife). She was 5 months old when we got her. Its been a long struggle, but she is great now with potty and most other things.

Here is the issue: When I have company( buddy(s) watching the game) she wont come too far out of my room. She'll come out near the door and sit, and Ill call her or my buddy calls, and she turns and goes back into the room. She wont even go outside, she just hold it til they leave or I go back there and pick her up and take her out to the patio.When she comes back in, she runs back into the room. She wont come near me if Im near them. She is so afraid of people. She hasnt always been this way, and she isnt afraid of other dogs.

What do i do to break this fear becuase I have never had a dog like this.
