any suggestions on how to help my new dog to be 更多 social and not fearful?

Our new english 公牛 梗, 梗犬, 小猎犬 is 4months old and we got her(Sandy) on dec.23rd and she is very scared still and freaks out over alot of sound and movement she just stays in one spot most of the time.You see she was raised the first months of her life as a kennel dog and wasn't use to much human socialness just around her brothers and sisters.Any ideas on how to help make this dog 更多 like the playful 小狗 I know she could be. thanks.

At four months old, she is still young and it's normal for 小狗 to be easily scared. The fact that she's not used to being around humans obviously doesn't help, but that does suggest that's why she is so fearful. So at least 你 (probably) know the 来源 of her fear.

The important thing is to make sure she knows she can trust humans. Make sure 你 spend as much time as possible with her, and be very gentle and kind. It's also a good idea to assure she gets used to being around a variety of people, so any dog-loving 老友记 and family 你 have should interact with her too. Again, just make sure they are all gentle with her.

I've had pets who have been afraid of sudden sounds and movement before, and they seem to overcome their fears naturally the 更多 confident they get around humans. I also think it may come with age. Obviously, 你 can't always stop sounds and movement from happening, and so it really is something your dog needs to get used to.

I suggest 你 focus on spending lots of time with her and letting her know she can trust you. I expect she'll get much braver and 更多 playful over time as long as 你 give her 爱情 and attention. If for any reason she's still getting nervous around loud sounds and sudden movement after a few 更多 months, I don't know if that's something a vet can help 你 with (they may know of some psychological cure - I really don't know, personally!). To avoid 更多 trauma if your dog is really scared, it's best if 你 call a vet to come to your 首页 instead of taking the dog there.

Good luck with everything, I really hope this will help 你 in some way! :)
