Samoyed Dog (detailed introduction)

　　What to do if your own dog is timid? Some dogs are especially sensitive, barking wildly or hiding to a safe place at the slightest disturbance. For such dogs, every day is lived in fear, without any sense of security. So as an owner, what should we do? Let’s follow editor Boqi to look at the reasons and solutions.

　　Reasons:
　　1. Personality. Dogs have completely different personalities. Small breeds like Chihuahuas are naturally more sensitive and are alert to everything, even to others’ affection towards them.
　　2. Not adapting to new environments. If your dog has just entered your family, timidity is within the normal range. Humans also feel fear and anxiety towards the unknown, not to mention dogs. Just give it some time to adapt and become familiar.
　　3. Too little companionship. If the owner is very busy and leaves the dog alone at home every day, its timidity is your problem because you spend too little time with it, and you drastically reduce its exposure to other dogs and outside things, making it unfamiliar with many things and generating fear.
　　4. Abuse. If your dog was picked up or adopted, its fear might relate to its past. Maybe it experienced a great scare or harm before coming to you, leaving an indelible shadow in its heart.

　Methods:
　　As a responsible owner, you need to give it enough sense of security. Spend more time with it, play with it, and stroke it. Through these actions, let it know you love it. Also, to correct its timidity, proper training is necessary, but do not rush or use corporal punishment, as that will increase its fear. Let the dog get used to your loving touch, and the movements must be gentle and slow.

　　Correcting a dog’s timid habit is a responsible act. Moreover, it is very important for the dog’s physical and mental health.
