Dogs who are fearful have a difficult time adjusting to new situations and people. As dogs get more fearful they can become aggressive to cope with their fear. You can help build your fearful dog's confidence.
When dogs are fearful they may:
- Run away
- Keep a low posture
- Keep their ears back or flattened
- Lick their muzzle repeatedly
- Have dilated pupils
- Tuck their tail between their legs
- Bark at a person or dog while backing away
