Why is my pit bull puppy so scared of everything?what can i do to fix it ?

Question

is this a sign of a mean dog

Answer 1

It's a sign that your puppy needs lots and lots of socializing in as many different places as you can do it.  It's not the sign of a mean dog, but it's a dog that can possibly become a fear biter if you don't take the time to socialize this puppy as much as possible.

How old is this puppy?  Very young puppies who just haven't had any experience out in the big scary world just need that experience.  If your puppy's old enough for puppy kindergarten classes, that would be the best thing you could do for it.  Your puppy would get socialized with other dogs, people, it would experience new places and all that's going to help.

Answer 2

put it close to something he is scared of and keep feeding him treats to make it think "When I get near this object, I can get fed treats!" Repeat that and your dog shouldn't be scared.

Answer 3

How many weeks old is this puppy?

Answer 4

not right now. just introduce him to everything and every one and especially other dogs and kids and reward him and have the other ppl and kids reward him that should help

Answer 5

Puppies go through fear stages, this is normal. Do not cuddle him or comfort him when he is scared, this will show him that he should be scared of whatever it is that is scaring him, or else you wouldn't protect him from it. If he is scared of something to not act like you are trying to protect him from it, simply say "enough" or "that will do" and move on.
