Unreasonable Fear?? Please HELP!! I don't know what to do! Emma is scared all the time!! Last night I was taking Carmel and Emma out to go potty, she was afraid of the door...when I take them for walks, she's afraid of the harness and leash (retractable). I think I know why she's afraid of the leash...sometimes I lose grip of the leash and it would go at her...so I have been more careful. Anyways, Emma's been with us since she was a puppy like Carmel, but she's got major anxiety and fear issues (Carmel doesn't). Thus, I'm beginning to think that it's her personality...? I understand that the world can be pretty scary when you're just 3.5#, but I was wondering what I can do to alleviate her fear and anxiety?? She's scared of other dogs, but still wants to say hi, so she'd crawl up to other dogs (she's SUPER submissive). Does anyone else have problems with their dogs that are not rescues?? |
