Then at 4 months his hackles started to rise when we pass by people. Nothing alarming, but hackles rose, and he seemed more suspicious of people than usual. It went away even though we've been doing nothing special at 5 months. I think there ARE 'fear periods', but they're not particularly troublesome, i.e. a confident dog suddenly starts running the other way when you meet other dogs. I think it's more of a dog growing up and starting to question the world around him, rather than suddenly developing fears.

The first one is when I first got her and she weight 8oz. This second one was last week, now weighting in at 6lbs Maybe I am stupid, but I don't have to many concerns about the fear period, mostly because everything will be done with one of the other dogs in tow. By this I mean training, and going to new places. **Photos are only allowed in the "Member photos and short bio" area.**
