Is my puppy afraid of me? When I approach my puppy and pick her up, she always tucks her ears back. I read somewhere that if a puppy does this it's because they are afraid.... I've never been mean to her...:( |
How long have you had her? My boy Ollie is a bit timid still after three weeks of having him, and he always does this, but he still loves to be cuddled and picked up though. I think it might be more of a submissive posture than a fearful one, if you get my meaning. |
The average person bends over the dog, makes eye contact, and reaches over the dog's head to pick her up. All of these actions are threatening to the dog. Do you have a lot of experience with dogs? If not, I encourage you to read up, watch Animal Planet, surf the web, contact a trainer, etc. Knowledge is power! :) If you haven't already, I recommend enrolling the two of you in a puppy class. A teacher will be able to answer a lot of your questions. |
