They get on great , not left alone yet . She does have a lot of issues we are working on , terrified of the outside world and men , which is hard when you have a teenage boy in the house she is petrified of . But she is a sweat heart so going to keep trying .

Re the teenaged boy.  Sometimes things happen without we humans being able to understand.  A couple of things I thought about, though.  Does your boy use any products - deodorant, hairspray/shampoo etc etc.  I wonder if changing all of these would make any difference?  Trying to think of things that may have unhappy and/or scary associations for Barbie?  Is he tall or bulky?  Barbie may think he is a male towering over her and, in her mind, inserting himself into her personal space.  

 

She is such a sweetheart and your lad probably is too, Juice.  Would be so good if her fears could be turned around and they became friends.

I actually got the impression from Juice's post above that Barbie is scared of all men, and the teenage son just falls into that category for her.
I have met many dogs that are slow to warm up to strangers of one gender but are quite happy with strangers of the opposite gender.
Time is the only real cure and seeing other dogs in the household giving love and cuddles to the scary gender always helps!
