JJ Belcher on Working with Shy and Fearful Dogs

In this video, JJ Belcher talks about shy and fearful dogs. This is a common behavior problem that rescue dogs experience. The worst mistake you can make is to coddle this shy and fearful behavior because that encourages this pattern. The best way to help the dog build confidence is to build trust with you, the handler.
