About this listen
If your dog is scared of something—like the vacuum—DO NOT force them to face their fear head-on! This common mistake, called flooding, can actually make things worse and cause long-term fear issues. 😨
In this episode, we break down:
✅ The #1 mistake dog owners make when dealing with a fearful pup
✅ How to gradually help your dog overcome their fear using positive reinforcement
✅ The importance of socialization and why it’s crucial between 8-16 weeks (and beyond!)
✅ How to recognize fearful vs. confident body language in dogs
✅ A step-by-step socialization field trip guide – where to go, what to bring, and how often to do it!
