Afraid of cars......
« on: October 08, 2012, 10:34:57 PM »
Our 12 week old puppy is frightened of cars. We live in a crescent which isn't too busy however when we take him for a walk even in the crescent and a car goes past he gets all nervous and his tail goes between his legs.

Any advise on how to train him to not worry about the cars?

Thanks

You need to show him there's nothing to worry about, so when the car goes past just encourage him cheerfully along with treats or a toy and an excited happy voice.  Don't talk to him in a concerned voice or comfort him as he will think there really is something to be worried about.
