Baxter has been terrified of everything lately. So weird because just a few weeks ago when he was a younger pup (pre puberty), he was the most bold dog I'd ever seen. Bulldozing into everything without a care in the world. Nothing has happened in his environment to make him terrified except the stupid people above us starting construction. Now any noise, or object, and he literally runs out of the room full speed. Its the strangest thing. I put down a tiny water bottle and his ears went flat on his head in fear, and he took off running .... all the way outside the house out onto the balcony.
This is the kind of behavior that Cesar would say is a result of mistreatment, or poor training, poor socialization, etc. But its like it started literally overnight. He's developing so fast, so im sure this is just part of the many changes I see in him almost daily. For the first time in the car today he was aware of his surroundings outside the window. Its like he was taking it all in, even though he'd ridden in a car 100x before. Im sure all part of growing up.
But is this just a phase? Do English Bulldogs have a "terrified of everything" phase that they hopefully grow out of? I mean this was a tiny little water bottle. Empty. He wont even go in certain areas of the condo anymore which is just plain weird.
