Some dogs naturally have a shy/nervous personality..is that what you mean? I used to have a Yorkie Sophie that passed and she at first..when I got her was so scared of everything! She was just so nervous. I got her at 6 mos old. By the time she was 2 she was so much more outgoing and not so scared of anything anymore. In fact she became more brave, and walked with her head high because I worked on giving her confidence. I praised her constantly, when i pet her, i pet her underneath not on her head..it's little things like that and she will become more confident. Be gentle...quiet, soft around her and she will be less scared. |
