skycat 6,174 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Have a read of this: scroll down to page 7 for your problem. http://www.secondchancefund.org/media/resourceDirectory/Chap5/Puppy_Development.pdf The thing is to keep things calm. Don't get cross with the dog. Try and take him to as many different places as possible. Spend time having fun with him: very important to ignore the fearful behaviour. Don't oochy-cooch him or he'll think there really is something to be afraid of. Do some more reading on the phase as well: just Google 'second fear period in dogs'. Sorry, no time to explain it more fully at the moment. Quote Link to post

Richard Morgan 38 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 spend as much time with the dog playing about fetch and such if youve had the dog from a pup sounds like a trust thing the dog must know whos boss but must also be able to trust its handler try and be deliberate with the dog and steady it will come with time atb.
