I read a while back that puppies have two fear stages. One, if I remember correctly, at about eight to ten weeks and then another that I think is around fourteen weeks (but I can't remember if that's right). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't remember where I read it but today I've noticed that Badger is being more skittish than usual - reacting to loud sounds, being weirdly timid when I move suddenly. He'll be sixteen weeks on Saturday? As some of you may know, he is a little bit of a shy boy but we've made huge strides with him... he even pulled me over on the weekend to go meet a Rottweiler (who was terrified of him!)... so I'm a bit surprised and hope it's just part of this phase
