Dr. Nichol’s Video – Dog Frightened of Men including Husband
Teach her that good things come from the man in her life
Some dogs are genetically programmed with low-status personalities. They can lose the heebie jeebies if a man ignores them as he drops a few small bits of tasty food. After he repeats this dozens of times he can reach down with a tender morsel-while completely ignoring the bunny at his feet. When she’s relaxed eating from his hand he can steal a glance at his little cupcake. Only when his new admirer confidently gazes up at him should he try slowly crouching next to her.
I hope you find this information useful. You’re welcome to share this blog with any of your pet-loving friends. If their dogs are nervous or aggressive toward men, well, they’ll be glad for the advice.
Each week I share a short video, a podcast, or a blog to help bring out the best in pets. You can sign up at no charge on my website, drjeffnichol.com. And when you do, I’ll send you my free at-home pet first aid and CPR guide.
I’m Dr. Jeff Nichol.
