My boyfriend and I adopted a 10 month old puppy about 3 weeks ago. He is the sweetest little guy and has done really well with training so far. My only persisting issue with him is the fear of loud/somewhat loud noises. For example, the other day (i live in an apartment) i took him out the back to the little grassy field that we go to for potty. across the field is the other buildings lot/dumpster. A garbage truck was picking up the trash when we walked out, and he LOST his mind. peed on my foot, tail tucked, practically dragged me back to the building door. It’s not just garbage trucks specifically, it could be a loud car or motorcycle, construction, etc. I feel so SO bad for him but also lost on how we can overcome this (if at all). Any advice appreciated, thank you!
