Scaredy Doggy Yogi.

Since two weeks ago, I started walking Yogi in front of the house and in our street as I want him to be with me when I walk around. A few houses from us, there were 2 big dogs who barks at him, he suddenly stops and does not want to continue and pull me going back to where we started. I tried going on the opposite road and at the corner street there is a small dog who barks at him endlessly. Again, he stopped and went back to near our house. What am I supposed to do now? Everyday I try to pull him to pass those houses and dogs but he does not want to.

@rakski , because he is safe there and has confidence there! After all he is in his territory then!

You need to build confidence in him! If you are helping him to get back to your home every time some dog is barking at hm he will never learn how to be brave! Many a times dogs bark at each other out of curiosity too! So gradually I think you must train him to face such situations which are inevitable for him in his life!

maybe because he's still a puppy and the other dogs are much bigger than him

@rakski the spitz may be small, but he probably senses that it's already an adult. i think it's more about maturity. maybe dogs sense who are their "elders"

that is one thing I am considering also but the other dog from the corner house is a very small Japanese spitz dog.

He is surely scared by the other dogs, do not force him, you should find a way to pat a dog in front of him so that he understand that the other dogs are not dangerous.

@rakski When I was a kid I loved to pat dogs until a small Chihuahua bite me. Those small dogs are nasty dogs.

Maybe take him to a dog park and let him get used to other dogs.

I had experienced that with our late dog Angus. He was so scared of the barking dogs that I sometimes carried him home or I carried a stick with me to get rid of the barking dogs.

@rakski Yes, give him more time. Seeing those barking dogs is very stressful for him.

Hopefully eventually walking past the same spots every day he will get used to it and know they may bark but can't get to him.

A lot patience is needed with any dog and more so if the dog gets scared love his name.

Do not force him. Let him be familiar with the part of the road before those dogs.

He is out of his territory, and not feeling safe. I don’t walk my dog by my neighbors house, he dogs are aggressive, and can hop over the fence.

Oh, poor little Yogi! It's best if you pull him past the barking dogs. Eventually he will get used to it.

He is scared of those dogs. Maybe just do not forcibly take him there.

I think so too. But if I want to walk with him, either way we have to pass by those houses
