 Belle's afraid of strangers
I first want to thank everyone for their great advice and wisdom. As I said before, this is my first yorkie, and I am learning everyday! Anyway, my question is how to help her with her fear of strangers. At certain places, like pet stores, she gets nervous and sometimes shakes. At other places, she will bark a lot at strangers. I've had her in training classes, and that has helped a lot. I am planning on taking her back in a month or so. The trainer said to sharply say "no". I've done that and that has helped to a certain extent. I would appreciate any suggestions you have! I just want to make sure what I'm doing is okay and not making her more scared of strangers. By the way, she is 2, and she is a lot better than a year ago. She is my baby, and I want to take her everywhere with me. Thanks! |
