For a nervous pup, buy yourself a crate (dog Cage) so it's got somewhere it can go to get away. Cover it with a blanket/towel so it's dim, close and secure. Tell the family if it's in it's cage not to bother it at all. and just spend time with it. Let it get used to the house first before taking it out and socializing it.

 

I'm sure I read somewhere to ignore really nervous dogs for the first week? no talking to them, no strokes, commands, nothing. Let the dog settle in. Feed times put the food in the bowl and just sit quiet somewhere near the bowl, once they've finished, let them out and wait for them to come back in but don't call them in. No walks outside the house/garden.

After the first week start talking to them at feed times, reading a book out loud is the easiest way, then just gradually build up your interaction with the dog. Look up positive training methods online.

 

Good Luck with the pup.

Strip naked and lather yourself in peanut butter and allow the dog to lick it off, it wont make any difference to the pups confidence but you will enjoy it.........

need help just bort a lurcher bitch it 7 mouth old and it is very nerves how every had it before me gave a tuff life how can i get it bk on track so it cums to me and make not nerves soz about my spellings

 

why buy it, if you knew it was nervous.? having a dog like that, is always going to alot harder to bring on, than norm temp of a pup. Take it back, and start again with confident pup, make life easy on your self+pup.

well said mate take it back or to a dogs home you have enough against you with a well bred pup with a proper temperament never mind an unstable 7 month old thats doomed before you start. start again and shop around before you buy this time. BUT if you do keep the bitch good luck, you will need it

first of all dont listen to this crap above. just got myself a 10 month old same problem as you nervous as hell not lead trained did not respond to her name amongst other faults, had her now 2 weeks a totally different dog recall to her name coming along fine walks well on lead not so nervous. give all the time you can spare dont shout or hit her in any circumstances be patience with her you will get there. i bought mine on a months trial on the basis that i live on a housing estate and did not want a noisee bitch in my kennels as she was kenneld with other dogs in her last place and i thought she would miss them and start howling the place down but she has been quite all the time .

so you seriously believe that your dog will make as good a dog as a well reared, confident lurcher

Just out of curiosity did you use the peanut butter method? I prefer crunchy as the dog nibbles your flesh whilst grabbing those tasty nut morsels. I'm getting goosebumps at the thought........

yes without a doubt ,if given the time and patience .i would not take in an older pup if i could not bring it on to my own standards.

 

I can confirm this too and have had personal experience. Good luck with the pup and just spend time getting to know her and bonding with her for the first few weeks, she's really young....honestly, you'll see a different dog in a couple of months.

Good luck to those who take on nervous dogs but personally I wouldn't gel with a nervous dog, unless I have the peanut butter ready..........

[matmorgan 49]

at 7 months it should be well into its training, full of life and VERY confident not shitting itself in the corner or not wanting to come back to you

....quite true if the pup is living in a good, knowledgeable environment. However, not all pups are so lucky. I'm sure you're not suggesting that this pup ought to be 'written off' at 7 months....?

[Guest stewie]

No not at all but it will never reach its maximum imo. Takes alot to get a good dog anyway this one has alot against it before he even starts training it to sit, stay etc
