What should I do if my dog ??is timid and hides everywhere?

In daily life, we often encounter some dogs that cry when seeing strangers, dare not do things by themselves, and need a dog slave to accompany them everywhere. We usually call such dogs timid and cowardly. What is the reason for this?

The dog’s life circle is too small. Some dogs usually only live in their own small families, especially those looked after by their grandparents. They rarely go out to play and have little contact with outsiders. They are highly dependent and cannot adapt to the environment independently. Such a dog hides when it sees a stranger and cries when a stranger hugs it. If sent to kindergarten, it will be even more timid when encountering new environments and new teachers.

Dog slaves love to scare dogs. Some dogs don't listen to their slaves at home. For example, when they cry or don't eat well, the slaves will scare them with words that dogs are afraid of, saying, "If you cry again, I will throw you outside and let the tiger eat you." ; Some dogs don’t sleep, and the dog slaves hide behind the door and imitate tiger barks; some dogs want to play in the mud, but the dog slaves are afraid that the dogs will stain their clothes, so they say, "There are bugs in the mud that will bite your hands." Use these Intimidating the dog, causing the dog to lose its sense of security and become timid and cowardly.

Dog slaves place too many restrictions on their dogs in their daily lives. For example, when you go to the park to play, you may not let your dog go climbing for fear of falling, and you may not let your dog go to the lake to play for fear of falling, etc. As a result, dogs are afraid to gain knowledge and experience from trial and practice, which also results in timidity.

Originally, dogs are newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers. As long as dog slaves stop the above incorrect parenting methods and do the opposite, dogs will soon become brave.

When playing in the park, encourage the dog to play more with friends of the same age to strengthen its language skills and dog interpersonal communication skills.

Secondly, stop scaring the dog. If you want the dog to develop good habits, firstly, the dog slave must have a consistent attitude and resolutely implement it. Even if it cries, it must persevere, but never beat or scold; Second, you need to reason with the dog. You can use familiar stories, cartoon dog characters, etc. as lobbyists, so that the dog can slowly understand the benefits of developing good habits for itself, so that it can better abide by the rules.

Finally, the dog should be raised in an open manner, encourage the dog to explore and try on its own, and cultivate the dog's brave spirit in practice. Don't stop eating because of choking. Most success comes from constantly overcoming failure. Only when a dog falls down does he know how to be careful when walking; only when a dog swims in a pool and chokes in water does he know that water is fun, but it is also dangerous; only when a dog often walks on his own can he know how to walk. The middle will interfere with others and is dangerous. A dog slave cannot take the place of the dog in its future life as a dog, so it is necessary to let it be independent and brave enough to try from an early age. For things that are beyond the dog's ability, we can try to create a safer environment for him to try. For example, when crossing the road by ourselves, we have to choose a place with very little traffic, very slow speed, or even a place with traffic lights to let the dog start trying under our watchful eyes. One day the dog will break out of the cocoon and become a little warrior who faces life positively.
