Good questions
Before you begin.
Is shyness permanent?
Many shy puppies gain confidence with patient exposure at their own pace. A trainer can set the pace.
What if my puppy growls?
Growling is communication. Avoid punishment, create distance and ask a professional for a plan.
Can storms make a puppy fearful?
Yes. A quiet hideaway and gradual sound practice can help, and your veterinarian can weigh in if the fear is strong.
Does the vet need to know?
Yes. Pain or illness can change how a puppy acts.
