Addressing Fear and Anxiety
If a puppy displays clear signs of fear, such as tucked tail, ears back, or avoiding eye contact, it's vital to prioritize building trust and positive associations. Start by simply leaving the spindog in the puppy's environment for a few days, allowing it to become accustomed to its presence. Then, begin tossing high-value treats near the spindog, gradually moving closer until the puppy is comfortable eating treats directly beside it. Avoid forcing any interaction. The goal is for the puppy to associate the spindog with positive experiences. Consider using a calming pheromone diffuser or spray to help reduce anxiety. If the fear persists, consult a certified professional dog trainer or veterinary behaviorist for personalized guidance. They can help identify the underlying cause of the anxiety and develop a tailored training plan.
