Animal Smiley 019 Scaredy puppy

I am having similar problems with my Mia. It has been so hot out, and she just completed her shots (except for the Rabies) last week, so she is only out in the front of the house if we are going somewhere in the car---which she HATES! As soon as I put the harness and leash on her to go out, she starts crying and shaking. I try to coax her with her favorite biscuits, but she is so panicked that she isn't interested. I figure it is one of those things that the window of "socialization" is closing on, and if I had it to do over, I would have at least carried her around outside to get her used to the smells and sounds. I am just going to make sure I keep taking her out several times a day to get her used to it, and give her lots of praise and treats when we are getting ready to come back in. Hope it is not too late to address all of her fears! I keep telling myself that SHE doesn't know that the socialization window is nearly closed.
