Fearful

Fear

Noise sensitive Labrador reacts to any sudden sound. Fireworks and bangs are the worst.

They have had Jake since he was a puppy. He’s now four years old.   The couple have theories about why he’s quite so noise sensitive. As a puppy a closed crate crashed down beside him and sent him running and hiding. It’s very possible this happened during a fear Read more…

Fear

Scared in the car, wary of people and other dogs. Nervous dog doesn’t feel safe

Henry never has liked being in the car and the lady has even bought a new car to help him, to no avail. For the past four months the six-year-old Golden Retriever has been so scared in the car that the lady can’t get him in. There are no real Read more…

Fear

Romanian rescue shakes with fear when out in the street

(An online consultation) They only know a little about Milo’s past. The rest has to be guesswork based on his fearful behaviour. Away from the house and onto the street, he shakes. He must have started life in a home because he has obviously had training at some stage. He’s Read more…

Cocker Spaniel

Safe Place. Safe Haven. Cocker Spaniel Scared of Toddler

She seldom feels completely safe. Lucy’s fearfulness affects everything, most importantly her reactions to their baby daughter.

So many things she fears

With fear being at the root of all the issues that are a problem for the seven-year-old Cocker Spaniel’s owners, general fearfulness is what we must address. (more…)

Aggression

Aggressive Barking at People. Fear or Anger?

Two-year-old Belgian Malinois Jake’s home is now with people who have considerable experience and knowledge as dog owners. I’m sure if Jake had gone to them as a puppy they would have nurtured him into a reliable and friendly adult dog. Physical neglect and domestic abuse Poor Jake spent the Read more…

Aggression

Wary of New People Unless on the Train. Puzzling!

Crumpet is a Cockerpoo. Crumpet (I just love her name) is three years old. She scares easily – apart from the very times when most other dogs would be frightened. On trains, on the underground and on the busy streets of London she is absolutely fine! At home where it’s quieter Read more…

Fear

Feels Unsafe. Street Dog. Feral Dog

Neo is still a street dog – still a street dog although living in a house. The fact he is living so well in a house is tribute to the hard work and research of his young owners. He was picked up from the streets at a few months old Read more…

Fear

Spooked. Suddenly Scared. On Constant High Alert

The dear little Lhasa Apso Jack Russell mix seems to have a near perfect life. Why is she so easily scared and spooked? They have had her since she was a puppy and she has always been nervous. It must surely be genetic. Celeste is ‘living on the edge’. The Read more…

Fear

Street Dog to Couch Potato. Still Fearful.

Gracie is a street dog from Hungary. The lady adopted the little black terrier ten months ago and has made terrific progress in transforming the truly terrified little dog into a dog that can cope better. Coping is the word. She is still fearful of many things in the real world and runs Read more…

Fear

Nervous Dog on Walks. Work Begins at Home

The story of Indie, a nervous dog I met yesterday, is a very common one. Her behaviour illustrates my belief that reactivity due to fearfulness out on walks has roots at home too. Concentrating solely on walks is missing a big part of the picture. Indie is generally a nervous dog. Read more…
