Shiba Inu Forum:
Timid male

Our 5 month old male shiba is very frightened of noises...any noises around the house. He spends most of the time with his tale hanging down and running away. He dislikes going for walks and will only go within the same block and to a certain point then pulls like heck to go back. He is not at all timid with people or other dogs..just noises. Any suggestions on helping him get over this. Also how do we get him to like going for a walk. Our last Shiba was Mr. Macho so we find this guy very hard to deal with.

WITH THE WALK WHEN YOU GET TO THE POINT HE STOPS TRY PICKING HIM UP AND CARRYING HIM PAST THERE TO SHOW HIM IT IS SAFE WITH NOISES WHEN HE GETS SCARED COMFERT HIM AND TELL HIM IT WILL BE OKAY. THAT SHOULD HELP
