Re: Second fear phase?

LOL, I read and didn't reply at first because I have never heard of dogs having a second fear phase. Glad it's not just me!

Sorry I can't help Jem

Its where they start freaking out over nothing some dogs get it and others dont and it varies in severity but Shila has had it a while now and doesn't show any signs of easing up.
She's afraid of the noise her crate makes and a bucket so her's isn't to bad thankfully but it is getting a bit silly now

Re: Second fear phase?

My male sheltie had the second fear phase it seemed to be weird noises and doorways he got over it. He still isn't fond of strange doorways and looks at me for the it's ok...good luck I'd never experienced it before either but had heard of it...Jill

Hi,

It depends on the dog really, maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months, but not at the same level all the time.

You need to handle this phase with the utmost patience. Encouraged your dog to work it out on her own. If anything, it is better to ignore the whole situation than to reinforce the fear by giving inappropriate attention or petting her while she is afraid.

If she appears apprehensive, avoid confrontation, and build confidence through training.

Avoid any potentially overwhelming circumstances you cannot personally oversee

Hope this helps
