Press Release Summary = Working with a shy puppy or dog, or one that is fearful,
presents its own special challenges.


Press Release Body = With dogs as with people, some dogs and puppies are naturally
more bold and daring than others. When you watch a group of puppies play, it will
quickly become apparent which ones are bold and which ones are shy. Some of the
puppies will hang back at the edge of the pack, perhaps fearful of angering the
stronger dogs, while others will jump right into the fray and start jostling for
control.



Working with a shy puppy or dog, or one that is fearful, presents its own special
challenges. Of course bold, forceful dogs present challenges of their own,
especially with control and leadership issues. Every type of puppy or dog has its
own unique personality, and its own unique training challenges as a result.



One important reason to build confidence in a fearful dog is to prevent biting.
High fear dogs often become biters to deal with their fear of new situations, and
this type of fear response can be dangerous for the owner and the dog. It is
important to teach the puppy or dog that new situations and new people are nothing
to fear, and that they are not out to hurt him.



Signs of fear in both puppies and dogs include being afraid of strangers, being
leery of new situations, and avoiding certain people or objects. A fearful puppy or
dog may also snap or bite, especially when cornered.



If the master recognize signs of fear in the dog or puppy, it is important to act
quickly. Fear responses can quickly become ingrained in a dog, and once those fear
memories are planted they can be difficult to erase. Properly socializing a young
puppy is essential to making sure the dog is not fearful, and will not become a fear
biter.



Many puppies are raised as only dogs, but even these puppies should be given the
opportunity to play with other puppies, and with well socialized older dogs and
friendly cats as well. The more novel situations the puppy encounters when he is
young, the better he will be able to adapt to new situations as an adult dog.



Adapting to new and changing situations is a vital life skill that every puppy must
learn. The world is constantly changing and adapting, and it is vital that both the
master and the four legged companion learn to take these changes in stride.
