Effie and I have a lot in common. We both have phobias.
I am afraid of dots, holes, and bumps. I'm also terrified of spiders and deep water.
That is a lot to be afraid of....but my dog Effie is even worse.
Effie is afraid of
1. other dogs
2. people she doesn't know
3. deer in the neighborhood
4. birds (can you believe that?)
5. woodchucks
6. chipmunks
7. squirrels
8. being alone
9. random leaves falling from trees
What can I do to help Effie get over her fears? Do you have any advice?
My advice, which is something you probably already know, is to stay close to her always. It takes a long time but she will get over her abandonment issues. I hope to meet Effie!
