Our EM is 5 months old. She is a very sweet dog, goes to doggy day care 2-3x per week (plays very wel with other dogs/puppies), has been to basic training classes and will let strangers per her. The problem is she is so scared of certian things...vacuum cleaner, loud nosies (lawn equipment), the other day I brought her home from daycare and the cleaning lady has all her supplies on the front porch, she stopped dead in her tracks and peed. We don't re-enforce her behavior by petting her or coddling her when she is scared, we just try to let her work it out.
I am a little nervous that we will have a large dog that is so easily frightened but I also try to remind myself that she is just a puppy and many of these things are new experiences for her.
Any suggestions, is there something I should be doing that I am not? She is so diiferent from our last dog who was fearless.
Thanks!
