Fearful Behavior

Dogs and cats can develop fears of certain noises, human beings, and different objects. A fear of specific things can lead to inappropriate growling, snapping, urinating, and scratching. Your god or cat may injure itself while panicking during one of their fear attacks. All animals should be desensitized to their fears before is becomes a major problem.

Fearful behavior is normally caused by the following:

Invasion of personal space

Previous abuse

The lack of pleasant experiences with people at a young age

Lack of positive socialization can cause a pet to be afraid of people and other animals outside of the family. It is best to train your pet to interact with others when they are still young. Fearful behavior should be dealt with way before biting or snapping occurs. If this type of behavior has already occurred, consult with a behaviorist immediately.

Loud noises, such as doorbells, school buses, and thunder can also cause a pet to become apprehensive. To reinforce the behavior, console your pet during the situations. Negatively punishing the pet does nothing to address the fear itself. Never reward inappropriate actions with treats and praise.

If you are unsure of how to handle your pet's fearful behavior, talk to a behavior specialist or your veterinarian who is able to prescribe anti-anxiety medications to help during the behavior modification.
