I would not assume abuse just because your pup is fearful or unsure of something.

My Teddy is not submissive, but he often puts his ears down like he is embarrassed by the attention when I call his name. Other times, hearing his name is like a hug to him and he puts his ears down. It's his cuddle mode.

For fear, I pay more attention to the tail. If the pups tuck their tail, then they are really fearful or upset.
