Causes of Shyness in Dogs


Seeing a shy rescue-dog cowering behind their owners, it is easy for someone to assume that the dog has probably been abused in past. While abuse can be one of the causes of fear and shyness, there are other reasons why a dog is shy:

Genetics

Dogs possess inherited personality traits including their neurological wiring, brain chemistry, hormones, and a lot more. Shyness in dogs, similar to aggression and fear, could be inherited and hard-wired trait.
The possibility of dog inheriting temperament traits is an important reason why you should buy pet dogs from only ethical and reputable breeders. Good breeders would carefully choose the parents, that too, based on the good temperament and sound health, which makes it more likely that the offspring would have good genetic traits.



Lack of socialization

The initial 10 to 12 months of your dog’s life is essential for your dog’s training regime as they experience various developmental periods during this time where dogs learn and observe the world and environment around them and also learn how they must respond to it. While dog and cat hotels Dubai are really helpful when you need its services, it shouldn’t be an alternate home for them.

Make sure that you dog is socialized during the first year. Take them for walks daily, even if you have to hire the services of dog walking Dubai. Socializing your dog is important, otherwise a lock of such positive interactions with other people and dogs would lead to shyness as well as inability to adapt to new environment and new things.
