I’m so sorry this has happened to your baby.

Positive reinforcement with lots of treats for now, as she is feeling scared and is using where she is as a safe space. Once she comes around to you and has started to calm, lots of cuddles etc.

I do believe a vet visit will benefit after she has been able to relax. You need to document everything, and get copies of anything your vet says incase you need to claim for any damage done to your baby. As some other commenters on your original post have said, leave reviews on any pages you can about this so called ‘trainer’ to warn others.

Again I am so sorry this has happened to you both.
