Why is my puppy scared of everything?
A common reason for fear in dogs is a lack of positive exposure to new people, animals and environments during the critical fear period of the puppy socialization process. This important developmental stage in a puppy’s life occurs between 8 and 16 weeks of age, when pups need to have a variety of pleasant interactions with the world around them.
Why is my dog afraid of vacuum cleaners?
Many people see this type of fear develop in their dogs towards vacuum cleaners, hairdryers, and other noisy household items. A negative experience with an object can also cause a dog to become fearful. For instance, if you accidentally put a step ladder down on your dog’s paw, the pain he feels can cause a fear of that object later.
