Good evening, I was just out for a walk with my puppy. My puppy was sniffing everything as usual and then there was a spot on the ground where he was suddenly very scared and didn't want to go near it anymore.
Since then, my baby has been acting very anxious… He didn't even want to come into my apartment.
Does anyone know why he's like this? (He's almost 6 months old)
Regards and thanks

Loading...My family recently got a puppy. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be a cuddler. My grandmother has a dog who actually likes to cuddle, more or less, and I constantly see on social media how cuddly these dogs are. One question I ask myself is whether dogs that receive a lot of love during puppyhood…
Hello, I just started my evening walk with my dog, and he fished a tennis ball out of the bushes by the side of the parking lot. I'm so paranoid that someone contaminated it with rabies and left it there. I immediately took it out of her mouth, and now I'm wondering if she's infected….
Can I buy a dog and then get a driver’s license (Lower Saxony) or how does it work
My 13 year old dog has been feeling weak since yesterday! I went to the vet today, he has heart problems, water in his lungs! Unfortunately, the prescribed tablets are not working, he can no longer eat, he is breathing heavily and gasping for air. Prospects, what else could be done to help him or…
Is 42m² too small for a German Shepherd (small)? I'd like to have one and would also like to walk and play with it more. Are there any solutions or suggestions? I also have a large yard.

My dog came to me as a young dog—very insecure, having been abandoned as a puppy. But other puppies are sometimes scared too. They don't know the world yet.
For example, once we encountered a scary earth mound monster. I calmly walked up to the monster, got down to its level, and touched the mound. Important: Don't drag the dog into the arms of the horror—in other words, don't pull it! Usually, curiosity gets the better of them, and they'll feel their way closer while hiding behind you. That's what I've always done in situations like that.
She's become a brave dog now! Just stay relaxed, take the fear in stride, and don't make a big deal out of it if he's scared. Otherwise, you'll reinforce his fear because he'll think there's really something to be afraid of.
Your young dog (puppyhood ends at 16 weeks) seems to have noticed something that unsettled him. This happens, and it won't be the last time in his life. Act normally, encourage him to play, or train him, and he'll quickly forget about it. It's important not to make a big deal out of it.
