I am often approached by customers and by the readers of my Web site about what to do about their € ™ s customs of fear. Their dogs are afraid of loud noise, slippery floors, certain areas outside of certain people, certain situations. If your dog has problems with fear good news is that you can typically contribute to alleviating those fears with an acute understanding of the problem, good training and patience. The first thing to determine is because your dog has a fear that ago. With my experience I found that there are basically two reasons for which major fears.1 has a dog. Thanks to poor genetic breeding is exercised in many dogs today are born with weak nervous systems. What that means is that a dog with a weak nervous system is less capable of processing new information in a quick and stable. Whereas a normal dog can hear a loud noise and initially be made wince but recovered quickly, a dog with a weak nervous system is likely to be thrown in a screwing. I am overwhelmed by fear and require a disproportionate time to recover. The same edition that € ™ t of the doesn allows them to recover from a loud noise also makes it difficult to meet a new person, for example. At that dog, a new person is the unknown and anything unknown is cause for concern. Genetics is genetics. There ™ t something that the € the ISNA can do to change the genetic makeup of a dog.2. The socialization whenever the subject of genetics and behavior is brought up there is always the debate of this nature against consolidates. That is, what determines behavior, genes or education? The answer with dogs is both appalling. Nature is the genetics of the dog and consolidates what is called socialization. The socialization when speaking in reference to dogs, is the act of your dog at all types of stimuli. Socialize a dog was exposed to all kinds of people, noise, objects and surfaces of the floor. Socialize a dog has learned that although there are many things in this world that because of the € ™ t of € ™ t of the havenâ seen before, there usually the ISNA for alarm or fear. From the side of vibration, a dog that lacks socialization has not learned to process new information. A dog that has not ever taken a step on a slippery floor during his months related to the development of critical early life and therefore finds it appalling when finally ago at the age of one year. A male dog socialize so now has never met a lot of new people when confronted by very high or an obese woman or a person of a different race who is scared. While there is nothing you can do to change the genetics of your dog that you can change your perception of € ™ s customs of the world with good socialization. Many dogs with very weak nervous system can overcome a lot, if not all, their fears with patience and socialization. So what is causing your fear of € ™ s of the customs? It is a problem inherited? O comes from a lack of socialization? The answer is often both. A genetic weakness is often worsened because new things the dog doesn of the experience of € ™ t. Whatever the cause of origin you go about repairing the problem in the same direction. First determine what is your dog is scared. It is afraid of all people or just certain people? If so, what about those people that can cause your fear of the dog? Behave scared or nervous in front of your dog? Too quickly invade your space? Or is merely afraid of the people when outside the home, or only when it is in the country? What about noise? It is he afraid of all the loud noise, or just certain types? Far away from noise or an end? Get inside your head € ™ s of the customs. Analyze every situation where your dog exhibits fear and search for common denominators. I find that most of the time in which a client tells me what their dog is afraid, if we analyze the problem further find that initially were evil in their assessment, or were missing a big part of why their dog is scared . Once you have determined what your dog is scared of you can get to work. Let start out in the first place, though, by saying what you should not do when dealing with your ™ s fear.1 € of the customs. The € ™ t of the Dona criticizes your dog for his fear. Many people will automatically blame or correct their dog to behave in the appalling new situations. Think what is going on in your mind of € ™ s of the customs, on anyway. Warning is something that causes the stress and fear and then on top of it his own screams him. Reproach problem.2 only get worse. The € ™ t of the Dona coddle your dog. This is the opposite of blame but it is equally wrong. Again, the € ™ s leta think of what is passing through your mind of € ™ s of the customs. It is afraid and suddenly started pet and talk soothingly. Is going to interpret this as praise and approval for his behavior. You'll receive your petting and think of the â € oh, I guess that being afraid is good for the € thing.â been reinforcing his fear rather than help it go away. The key is to convince your dog to be slowly growing accustomed to what is frightened until they do not realize that there is more that needs to be afraid. If you want to bench press of 250 pounds but now you can do that only 200 are going slowly duty to make your muscles capable of processing the additional cumbersome. First 200, then 210, then 215, then 225 and so on. The same will happen with your dog for his mental muscles of the € œ of € â slowly can handle the additional effort. So if your dog is scared of certain people want to start out with your dog in the same area as that person. Then let the dog is close to that person. Slowly let the dog sniff the hand of € ™ s of the people. After allowing that person gently pet the dog. Then let the person close to dog and pet the dog and bend it to tap the dog, etc.. This could take days or 20 days according to your dog. The same goes for all the fear. Accustom slowly the dog whatever the scare. Since shows the acceptance at each stage should rewarded with praise or even an allegiance. The € ™ t of the Dona coddle fear, but reward progress. Taking care of your fears and insecurities of € ™ s of the customs requires patience and a strong understanding of your mental operations of € ™ s of the customs. Invest the time, though, and your dog thank him.
