Pup has been stoolin in back room and become very afraid of people

• Pup has been stoolin in back room and become very afraid of people Jamie Van Dusen Posted : 7/5/2006 9:46:52 AM Our little guy has been acting out (strange) the past few weeks. He has become extremely timid of other humans and barks at them if they come close. Before this, he was totally fine with people. What could we do or try to get him over this?   Also, he began deficating in the back room as he seems timid of the back neighbours house ever since the tree fell there. He willnot go in thhe back if they are in their yard or if the sprinkler is on. I am going out with him lately and he comes with some coaxing, but wondered if there was anything else I could try.   Thank you in advance!

• Brian Banks Posted : 7/6/2006 11:57:38 AM Your best bet: Pick up a copy of Patricia McConnell's "Cautious Canine". It's a very short read, but I believe will be very helpful in your situation. You're going to need to do some counter-conditioning. The program she lays out in the book (it's more like a pamhlet) should be just what you need. Good luck!
