When you are busy you can feel flustered. Is there a vet who could help you and between you draw up a list of tasks that you know she is really comfortable doing. draw a list of maybe 4-5 things she would like to have more confidence in and a few things she needs to watch people doing.

if funds allow and it would bring her out her shell, so many tasks up to speed. A funky fob watch or calculator... Chocolate :) just a thought x

Hi,

I agree, communication is key. Also, make sure you give her jobs that she can succeed in, rather than things that might knock her confidence. It's good to try and remember how it felt when you first arrived into practice and didn't know anything.

Good luck.

Communication is definitely the key - and catch her doing things right, positive praise and reinforcement works on people too! ;)
