The most common phobia of dogs is the fear of loud noises. These loud noises could be trains, thunderstorms, loud music, or anything loud. Dogs may also develop a fear of people if they are not exposed to people. Proper socialization at an early age in a dog’s life can make them friendly and not be afraid of strangers. A puppy that is exposed to different types of people will help them to be not as fearful as they mature. However, a dog can also link fear to someone even though that someone is not the one who causes him pain. A good scenario of this is if the dog happens to hurt himself and that someone is nearby when that happens, he may associate this event and sooner or later will develop a fear.
If your dog has a fear of loud noises, it is recommended that you consult your vet Davie FL who may recommend a professional pet trainer or animal behaviorist.
