Back to the Dog House

 



"It's not easy being me. I've never really had much of a social life, so I'm what you can call a 'loner.' Never been around other dogs, or any other people to speak of. I while away the daylight hours at home, alone. My owner is a really nice person. No complaints there. But, boy! I don't want a stranger coming near me. I mean I can't help vibrating - the shaking is uncontrollable. I'm afraid of what I might do next!"

Sir Anthony is Sir Antisocial - afraid of anyone but his owner. This dog should have been socialized a long time ago - given a chance to feel comfortable around other people and animals. This is not a really happy little guy. And, the problem is, fear can produce aggressive behavior.

If your dog is afraid of other people and animals, he or she needs socialization with professional help.
