my puppy is 5 1/2 months and she is the most confident puppy in our house. she gets herself on random high surfaces and doesnt care and bosses her 2 older brothers around. however, around other people and dogs outside and in stores, shes scared and just wants to leave. i treat her like crazy but she still shakes and sometimes stops walking. she did this when she first started walking outside after being fully vaxxed but now shes fine on walks
1 week before being able to walk outside, she was attacked by a dog and ran away. we found her thank god but she definitely was traumatized.
right now we’re taking her to the dog park and just letting her watch. she used to shake in the trunk while watching, but now shes fine. so we upped it and walked by the dogs in the park and she was so scared and shaking. wouldn’t take treats. if i keep exposing her to new places, will this build her confidence?
