you must socialize puppies when you first get them and keep on socializing them. that is the key. pups go through a "scared" stage and it is very important that you socialize them when they do go through that stage. perhaps obdience classes would help you at this point. Do you have a dog park? and a petsmart? perhaps that will help socialize him better.. obdience classes, going to the dog park, and to petsmart so he's used to being around other dogs AND people. make sure you do this with your other 2 pups, too. it is very important to socialize them and keep socializing them.

Buster my hound is like this.. he used to walk so well on leash and he went through the "scared" stage and now it's hard to take him for walks. He tries to back out of his collar. we don't have a dog park or anything like a petsmart except Quality Supply. he is better now, though. I wish you the best of luck with your 3 and hope this helps Cainan. and please socialize the others the same if you haven't already!

when do they go through this "scared" stage? I socialize them all the time! thats one of the weird things! i take him bi-weekly with me to work to get their bath's, when we get dog food, all three are with us! and sometimes cainan and i have our "time" he loves to snuggle with me...or at least tries, because he is too big to fit on my lap anymore, but he sure tries really hard to get himself all settled like he use too! I do know that my boyfriend sometimes thinks its funny when he gets scared of the little things and so he yells real loud and runs after him...like a game! coco likes it but cainan isnt to sure of it yet! once he realizes that coco likes to play this silly game, then he joins in....i tell my boyfriend to stop, so he does! i know he doesnt do this while im around him anymore because he knows it makes me upset to see him being so scared, for the most part he seems to be doing alot better! we took a break from the walks and he seems more hyper(of course) but less scared! we still take him to petco when we go, and with me to work also! but for the most part things are slowly getting better !! thanks everyone!
