Helping Your Pet Overcome His Phobia

 My Dog is Scared of Me: How to Help Train a Fearful or Timid Pet

A pet owner with enough experience will be able to spot signs that a dog is afraid of something.  Perhaps a certain stimulus being present can prompt the dog to be anxious and tremble visibly.  A fearful dog will tuck his tail between his legs as he lowers his body and head.  His hackle hair, around the upper area and the back of his neck, will rise up and his ears will point to the back, lay flat along the top of his head.  His eyes will go wide and his pupils will dilate.  It is also possible that uncontrolled bowel and bladder movements will happen to the animal.

If the triggering element facilitates a situation which the dog does not like and he successfully evades, he will eventually learn to stay away from situations of the same sort.

Most phobia cases in pet dogs could be challenging to manage, particularly if the triggering element is a hodge-podge of multiple factors.

Any concern you may have about your pet’s behavior should prompt a visit to your veterinarians Bourne MA.
