This is why right here ( see below) she came for advice and she listened to it from those that really are not even close to versed in behaviour... it is not training when you are dealing with fear it is behavour and it got worse. and it a dogs life that is affected and it is NOT OK !! And it did not have to happen if we had done things from slow and easy.
This is why can you fix this???
I may be able to may if I had the dog in hand and close and if I have a parent willing to trust. But when a parenet trusted once it and is fails it takes longer each time to get them to trust again and get to work and the dogs just do not have the time. liveing with fear is not ok and not comfortable.
Why going slow and staying gentle is better cause you got more room to catch the problems before they slam you in the face.

"Well, I'm puzzled now. Kaji will not walk out the front door, I don't know why but he won't. He'll come downstairs with me then watch me walk out. When I call him he quickly turns around and jets back upstairs. Once I get up there he is sitting by my bed and when I get close he lies on his back. When I reach down to pick him up because he needs to get out to potty, he dribbles pee. He did it three times today. Once before his mid-day walk, and twice before his before bed walk. The second one right now dribbled all over his belly. This is a fairly new behavior and it has me baffled. It only happens if I let him walk downstairs as we're heading out. If I carry him down and all the way outside, he's able to hold it long enough to pee outside. I thought I was seeing things for a few days but now I'm sure, I saw the stream when I picked him up all three times today.
My roommate was helping me show him that walking out the door is good. And he was getting the hang of it, too, when he ran back upstairs and then he peed (not dribbled but a small puddle). He knew he did something wrong because he cowered and hid under my desk.
Am I doing something to scare him? "
