I have an english bulldog that is slightly over 2 years old, Sadie. Sadie is very skittish towards almost everything. Some examples: trash bags/can, boxes, the blinds on our sliding glass door, etc. We have had her since she was 6 months old and her skittishness has only slightly gotten better. My boyfriend and I bought her from a breeder that was getting out of the breeding business. The man lived out in the country and when we went to see Sadie for the first time she was in a small pen, maybe 4 feet by 4 feet size. All she had was a dog house and food/water bowls and a dirt ground. The top of the pen was covered so she could barely see out into the rest of the yard, and the man said that the only time he really came in contact with her was when he fed her in the mornings. I am sure that is why she is the way she is, but my question to you guys is " is there anything that my boyfriend and I can do to try and help her get over her many fears?"
Sadie is even scared of her own harness. She absolutely hates putting it on, but after it is on her she is okay. We hate that she is so scared because we would never let anything hurt her, we just wish she would understand.
Any Ideas?
