This blog is a tribute to Belle, and all the dogs who have come before and after. They are my friends, my companions, my teachers and my students. They bring me both joy and heartache, laughter and tears. There is nothing as sweet as the smell of puppy breathe, and nothing as sad as the final goodbye.

Fearful dogs






A dog with fear issues is usually a poorly socialized dog. Often this occurs because the dog, when a young pup, was not exposed to a variety of enriched environmental and social stimuli that is necessary to ensure sound emotional development. There are other situations resulting in a fearful dog of course; however in my experience, most fearful dogs are a result of the lack of proper early socialization.
