| 62. Afraid of Dogs If
your dog has this problem, you must look for a good trainer who has group classes. Ask
your veterinarian for referrals; also ask friends who have attended classes with their
dogs. Classes teach your dog that people and dogs are fun, not a threat.
If your dog is extremely nervous and worried, ask your instructor if you can bring your
dog and watch a more advanced class where the dogs are very well trained and controlled
under lots of different conditions. Usually the owners of these animals are more confident
and will be glad to bring their calm, well-behaved pets around yours so it will learn to
relax and perhaps even begin to be friendly or curious about these new acquaintances.
