If your dog is afraid of unfamiliar people it can pose a real challenge. You can find yourself walking in the dead of night or early hours of the morning. Your route is designed to avoid anyone and as for having guests to stay for any longer than a few hours, that feels like a fantasy.
This episode of The Sociable Dog Pod is all about how to deal with this truly difficult subject. While we would firmly advocate for getting a qualified professional in to help with anything that involves a behaviour problem like fear or aggression, we hope that this podcast will give you some insight into what is going on. We're on a mission to help people understand their dog's behaviour better.
