I understand now, thank you. So if I go for a walk with the dog and my friend and a persons approaches,we should move away where the dog is comfortable, can we give the dog a treat? it is hard in real life cause when we walk, streets are narrow and people are always out. we live in a busy area, what...

so how do you change the dog wot seeing a person was no longer scary?
I don't understand

I thought treats were good to use with fearful dog? people should not give her treats?

she don't have a computer. I will suggest training. Someone told her about BAT. anyone know about that?

the dog is very nervous of people. she hides and will run away and bark at people. I tried people giving treats but she does not work. I tried a DAP collar and she was still nervous. It did not help her calm down at all. I am looking for something to calm her down naturally
thanks

can l-trytrophan calm down a nervous dog?

can you give a dog l-trytrophan to calm dog?

I read in a book that for dogs, the first fear imprint period occurs from 8 to 11 weeks of age, and the second fear imprint period is from 6 to 14 months of age. does the second fear period last that long?

I can give you her e-mail

oh, so she is shy, that's not good. my friend wants her to go places and met people. Many people want to pet her. she is a cute puppy. can she be condition to accept pets on the head?

my friend got a new puppy and whenever I go to pet him, he will run back away and go to play or find something more interesting. The only time I can pet the puppy is when I have a treat. the puppy will come up to me and I can pet her. She is 8 months old. My friend is worried the dog is shy. what do...

yes, just down the stairs. it stop when out walking, she is excited to go

I am watching a dog, she is great but when we go for a walk, she gets so excited and starts barking. she will bark all the way down the stairs until we are out the door and walking. What can I do to stop her from barking? we live in an apartment complex so everyone can hear it

hi
I am going to get a dog soon but I am not sure about what breed. I like labs and collies. I do have 2 cats, a parrot and nieces and nephews that come over often. I am active and love to walk. I like meeting people so I would like a friendly dog. what breed is a better match for me?
