I created the Fearful Dogs website to help people think about ways to help their shy, fearful or anxious dogs. Over the years since the site first appeared I have continued to learn about fear based behaviors and explore methods and techniques for helping dogs feel more comfortable in the world.
If you have read through the website and still have questions or would like additional help in working with your dog I would offer you these suggestions:
Find a trainer who uses reward based methods. Look for a trainer that has experience working with fearful dogs. There is a list of them here. Read books about working with fearful dogs. You can find a collection of them on this site's book list. Understand how dogs learn new behaviors and how you change a dog's association with whatever is scaring them.
