If you’re not sure whether your dog is suffering from low confidence, look for signs such as following you obsessively, standing between you and an unfamiliar person, heavy panting or drooling in a new situation, and pacing or chewing at his tail or paws. Consider whether any changes in his environment may have triggered your dog’s stress, or if a past experience has shaped his anxiety. Once you’ve discovered the root of his fearfulness, you can begin working slowly and consistently with your pet to expose him to small amounts of the stressor, using positive reinforcement to work up to more intense versions of this trigger over time.

- Start simple: One tell-tale sign your dog is suffering from poor confidence is balking when he’s asked to learn something new. Low self-esteem makes training harder, so start with simple commands that will boost your pup’s confidence. Always use the same command for the same trick and be sure to lavish your pet with praise every time he gets the trick right. Practice often, and eventually you can move on to more difficult types of training like bath time.
- Averses tard
- Donnez à votre animal de compagnie quelque chose de bon à retenir: chaque fois que vous vous associez à quelque chose qui lui fait peur, vous en retirez une partie. Qu'il s'agisse d'offrir une friandise après qu'il ait réussi un tour ou de jouer avec son jouet préféré lors d'une sortie, vous pouvez aider votre animal de compagnie à surmonter son anxiété en lui donnant un souvenir mémorable après avoir fait face à un événement effrayant.
