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.
