My wife and I just rescued a dog about 1 1/2 weeks ago and she is very timid. She stays in her crate, which is in the guest bedroom, most of the day. Her health seems fine. She eats well, sleeps a lot, and when we are not in the room she roams around the room sniffing and investigating things...

My husband and I have recently acquired a rescue dog, who we knew was very timid when we got him. We have had several rescue dogs previously. This boy was a stray and he has bonded closely with his foster carer who, although she loves him to bits, is not in a position to keep him because she...

I've never posted here before and I have no clue how to post under the training. It wont let me reply to half the treads anyway. So, my issue is this. I have a 12 week old German shepherd puppy. I've had her since she was born, I own momma. We decided to keep her because of her special...

We recently acquired an adult (4 yrs old) female miniature schnauzer who is very timid at times. If I am sitting down in the same room with her she will come when called and seeks to be picked up and will sit in my lap for long stretches of time, even going to sleep. However, if I am standing up...

Hello, I am a first time dog owner. My partner and I adopted a 1 year old papillon/pomeranian mix from a rescue about a month ago. She is extremely timid and seems afraid of everything. She spends the majority of the day sitting in a corner on the couch. She snuggles up near me when she is on...

Hi there, I'm a first time pup owner, so forgive me if these questions seem obvious! I adopted my pup 2.5 weeks ago- he is 8months old and a shih tzu/yorkie/poodle mix. Adorable of course! When I first got him, he was TERRIFIED. He hid everywhere and would shake (poor guy!) I continued to...

Me and my wife just got an 8 month old Cavapoo puppy from a breeder last week. My wife held him in her lap for 4 hours on the ride home. Now he won't leave her side and he runs from me. He follows her all over the house and all over the yard. He will not leave her side. When I come into a room...

Hi, I just got a Papillon and she is 7 1/2 months old. She is very timid and likes to hide under the Christmas tree. She doesn't come to us, and seems to be completely "at home" in her pen. I am just wondering if this is typical, or if she is still adjusting? She came from a home with about 10...

Almost a year ago we welcomed a new member to our family - a 2 year old Coonhound from the SPCA named Annie. We have been through on and off leash and obedience training and for the most part she does great. She gets walked twice a day and is most of the time the center of attention...

Hi everyone! Here I am with another question on helping my sweet, shy collie to come out of her shell. :) To recap, here's Brenna's background: She was owned by a breeder until age 5, when she was retired and sold. I don't know much about her time at the breeder's, except that she was kept...

I have a 10 week old Basset Hound puppy and he tends to me. I can walk him without a leash and he follows me everywhere. However, he acts shy around people he sees daily, example:my dad. I am a teenager so I still live with my folks and everytime my dad comes into the room or tries to get...
