I'm pretty sure it's the same dog before and after the fear response was developed. An important thing to note is that the development of the fear response is completely normal for puppies, and is a healthy part of their development. It keeps them out of danger. The researchers hope that shedding light on the normal development of the fear response will help researchers learn more about this response, and how to prevent dogs from developing abnormal or unhealthy fear responses.
