Dispite what appears to have been an abusive situation some dogs are just nervous & fearful. When I got Sophie, at 12 weeks, I thought she was such a brave pup because she never cried or whined at night when we first brought her home. I now realize she was just too frightened to make a sound. She has always been a nervous nellie. I have to be very careful that people don't approach her as I am afraid she will nip at them. Just because she is small and cute people still want to come up and put their hands down towards her face even though she is barking at them. They would never do that to a larger dog. I wish I had an answer for you but I just try to reassure her that all is well and I do use the thundershirt for storms. Good luck with your pup.
