As the owner of a dog who was somewhat fearful when I first adopted her, I am always grateful when I stumble across useful information about working with fearful dogs. Debbie Jacobs offers a wonderful website and series of articles on the examiner.com that will hopefully provide you or perhaps your friends with some useful tips and ideas for working with a scared or shy dog.
The most important guideline to keep in mind while working with your dog, according to Debbie Jacobs: "Most important is that you work on building a positive, trusting relationship with your dog."
Her website also contains tips for dealing with storm and sound phobias.
Another great resource for those of you concerned about a fearful dog: The Cautious Canine by Patricia McConnell.
