Overcoming Fear
from The Pack Animal Podcast · host David Kurlander
Fear has many faces and more often than not, wildly misunderstood. Not all fear is negative. In fact most dogs exhibit fear based off of a natural instinct called survival. Unfortunately, these behaviors are commonly misdiagnosed as abuse and treated as such with anthropomorphic treatment such as coddling, which enables the dog's negative behavior through justification, creates an insecurity in the structure and inflames their anxiety.
