Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Weird thing going on with Cash. We've been walking everyday, twice a day for about 15 minutes and he loved it. The last two days he acts petrified of everything like he's never walked before. Thoughts? Suggestions? I dont want to stop walking and increase the fear but don't want to scare my puppy. Nothing has really scared him lately either to cause this-a dog barked at him but that was it. I'm at a loss.
Thanks! |

| Start bringing little treats or peices of kibble with you. Tika refused to walk when we first got her. We bribed her to make it a positive experience. So get him out the door with a peice, then when he gets to the corner give him another and praise.....repeat until his fears are gone Its how we trained ours to walk on leash and heel. If he's not particularly food motivated then figure out what he would follow you for, praise, pets....etc |

| Try not to reinforce the fear either. Any attention, especially a soft "it's okay" followed by petting will only make it worse, teaching him it's okay to be afraid and that it will get him affection.
A good approach is coimbine Kelly's advice with your own confidence to help him build his own, through you.

| Cash is 4 months and a week. And I was thinking of the kibble so I will try that tomorrow. |

| Ok, I was wondering about the normal phase of them being afraid of everything... |
