@ strawbrykiwi Some dogs are also shy. Dogs fear the unfamiliar. It's fight or flight, and most choose flight response. Socializing helps. |

@ strawbrykiwi sure signs your dog is fearful if she shivers, anxious, scared or runs & hide. If not, then perhaps your dog is an observer. |

@ strawbrykiwi Does Belle have a fear of other dogs? Sometimes traumatic events with other dogs can cause dogs to retreat & not socialize. |

Second Furry Addition: #6 Maintain resident dogs normal routine-walks, meals, training & cuddle time. Less apt to view new pup as threat.

@ strawbrykiwi some dogs prefer to be w/ owner only. May feel threatened if not in the spotlight. She wants to be the only apple of your eye. |
