Re: Second fear phase?
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?
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
