4.) Underdogs
Fearful dogs with behavioral problems can be as dangerous
as out-of-control alpha-dogs. This is especially true if small
children are involved. If you are visiting this website and
your dog is generally distrustful and afraid, there are a
number of things you can do.
First and foremost, if your dog
has already bitten either you or someone in your family AND
your dog has the physical ability to overpower you, I would
advise you to get help from an experienced dog trainer.
To keep in mind when training or playing with fearful dogs:
Just
like us humans, dogs are born with different personality traits,
and being generally fearful can be one of them. If you have a
fearful dog, it is very important that you don't encourage
his fearful behavior by trying to soothe or cuddle him whenever
such behavior is displayed.
