Food is such an inappropriate life line to hand out to a scared dog.
If ever I fear that I am drowning, a twinkie is not my solution. Safety is.
We must offer the same to our fearful and scared dogs. Work on your relationship and prove that you are their body guard. Be proud of their small bits of courage, and watch their chest puff out when you tell them.
If you do this, these fearful little dogs will follow you into fire...
