Ways to Eliminate Fear in Dogs and Puppies

Have you ever met up with a very anxious dog or puppy? Sweet as can be, but still yet "nervous." He or she hides behind mommy when new people show up rather than wagging the tail happily and greeting them. 

Sometimes more information about any one subject is dangerous in that people make generalizations that are just not true at all. One of these is all the news about "abused animals" and how they act when they been abused. 

When a dog is fearful many people NOW assume that dog must have been abused. It is the today's catch-all phrase people use whenever a dog has unknown history shows stress or fear. We say, "he is scared of men because a man must have one time abused  him," or she is scared of ball caps because someone has abused her with ball caps. The same kind of things are said about men with beards, people wearing sunglasses, pulling out a camera and numerous other behaviors.

In fact, there are a lot of dogs who are nervous or show fear and do so NOT as a direct result of abuse. It certainly happens and is horrible when it does, however, a much more likely explanation is that these dogs have just not been adequately socialized as puppies.

A great deal of neurological development takes place after puppies are born, much of it happens in the first 16 weeks. Their early experiences is a crucial time that will make a lifelong impact on their ability to react to stress. During this period of time, they are most open to new experiences, sights and sounds such as:

• appliances running in the home like vacuum cleaners
• cats and other pets
• children
• men with beards
• people wearing sunglasses
• doorbells ringing
• baseball caps
• and much more

Dogs who have positive experiences with simple things in their environment during this critical development time is much less likely to react negatively to them on down the road in a new home or elsewhere.

Most puppies go to a new home at eight weeks at the youngest and ideally even a little older than that. As our understanding of the importance of socialization has increased many trainers are opening up puppy classes to 12 week old puppies, and the socialization benefits are well worth it.

Formal programs used to socialize puppies at very early stages of life (puppy preschool so to speak) are great because they walk people through each important aspect of social exposure needed for good socialization, from touching to meeting strangers, to music and doorbells. In fact, breeders can do the same kind of socialization exercises for puppies about to leave home.

Puppy kindergarten and breeder training programs with new litters are well worth the time and effort for both the puppy and their new owners. It can do a lot to help diminish a dog's fear of new sights, sounds or experiences.
