| Puppy fear stage? Toby is a nightmare to walk. He used to be ok, but got scared by a bicycle one evening. Now he wont set foot out the driveway. I distracted him with a ball this evening, but it only worked while there was no one about. As soon as he seen people and adults he pulled the opposite direction. He is 18 wks old, and we started puppy classes last week. The trainer said after 20 weeks, habits and fears etc are hard to break. Any suggestions. Is this a stage? Should I just keep draging him out?

YT Addict | Yes! Keep dragging him out! He'll never get over it unless he gets used to it. I'd suggest socializing him more, take him out whenever you can, have friends over. Get him used to people of all shapes and sizes! Puppy class will be good for socialization but it sounds like he could use a little more!

| He used to be better. He would've went over to people, now he tries to run away. He is better when he is away from our block, where he got the scare.
