Sounds very familar to me, as I have a TRD that was abused and was 20 months old when I adopted her. She was skittish to both my husband and I. Believe me I know how difficult this situation is. She has been with us 3 years now and had 2 obedience courses. Fortunately we don't get a lot of company. There are visitors that have been in her life for these 3 years and she is still wary of them.
