"hello, I just joined this forum, looks like a great place for friends/advise!!  I dont know if this is in the right forum section, so forgive me if it is not ! !  \nAnyway.....\nLast night I brought home 2 rescue gsd girls, 7 months old.  We are adopting one and fostering the other (they are siblings).  The rescue group wanted them to stay together for now, since they are extremely shy and co-dependent on each other. They were dumped by a breeder at a local shelter because he had new litters to take care of and wanted \"rid\" of these 2 older girls and wanted the city to dispose of them.  Anyway, I am looking for advise on socializing these two VERY shy and totally unmannered girls, they are very unruly and have had zero training whatsoever.  I guess their whole lifes so far have consisted of sitting in a pen in a room of a house, they have never been outside before now.... We have a little Yorkie, which at first they tried to play with and chase, but that is getting a little better, but have to keep a very close eye on them when the yorkie is  in the same room, they dont mean any harm, but I am afraid they will hurt her.  They are not aggressive, just playful... Also we have 3 pet chickens in the back yard (we live out in the country, lol).  My question is what is the best way to adjust these girls to the small dog and the chickens, and diminish their first response to chase them?"
