Fearful Dogs


Before you actually start to help your dog with fear issues; determine that there are no underlying health issues.  Pain and illness can be manifested by fear.  Rescued or older dogs will be much more challenging with fear issues because the fear can be much more established.  If you see fear in your young puppy it should be considered a priority to help them overcome it and quickly.

To help your young puppy with fear; use distraction.  Bring out a favorite toy, move to another room(they will probably follow you); remember don’t coddle them when they are afraid.  Move on to a new activity to draw their interest and get them focused on something else.
