Well, i don't replied to your comment as found documentation specifies about this problem. The reference is Joël Dehasse, 1994. Desarrollo sensorial, emocional y social del perro joven (in spanish). publish in The bulletin foro veterinary clinical ethology, vol 2, nº 1-2, pp 6,29, 1994 (Bruselas).

His name in psicology is "pre-puberty sensibility". This problem affect to all breeds, It have a genetic factor so it may affect some breeds more than others and some families more than others.

Before puberty, our dogs are a sensitive period, like puppies over 5 weeks. In this period they can recover old fears or emerge new. We can't prevent this period. Only with early neutering (shown by the experiments) So it means a hormonal source.

Previous work soften the traumas caused at this time. The work of socialization should be repeated during. And most importantly, the sensitivty is temporary, but not the traumas. We must work to eliminate them.

Thanks Vaiva for your opinions.

Hi Fernando, I loved your videos, especially the pool video

There are abandoned and even more mistreated dogs... so it's always nice to see the love for dogs, moreover in this difficult breed. This is an healthy enthusiasm, don't you think Vaiva?

Maybe create a separate section for dog presentations and move mine and fernando's topic.

About the problem. I have the opposite problem - too much confidence. She is 7 months and never had fear of anything.
Try to reward with food and a calm stroke when he doesn't show fear. Never value fear, ignore it. It's also important that you react as nothing happened. When there's some strong noise I go out of the house in the direction of the noise and reward my dog if she comes too. She sees if I remain like all is normal then there's no reason for fear.
