What to do if your Teddy is timid
Increase social ability: A large reason why Teddies are timid is due to a lack of contact with the outside world and other dogs. Owners should take their dogs out frequently to broaden their horizons and make new friends.
Adjust your mood: The owner's lifestyle and parenting attitude have a significant impact on the dog. If you want your dog to be enthusiastic and outgoing, you should set an example and influence them.
Companionship: If a dog is neglected by its owner and lacks entertainment activities, it will become timid and introverted, lacking a sense of security. Therefore, it is recommended that owners spend more time with their dogs and interact with them when they have the time.
1. Causes of Timidity in Teddy Dogs
Some Teddy dogs are naturally timid. This is a born trait, they are afraid to go outside and strangers, but parents don't need to worry too much. This timidity can be overcome.
Some Teddy dogs become particularly self-conscious and timid after grooming. After having their hair cut, small dogs often feel inferior, partly because owners joke about how ugly they look, causing them to feel hurt.
2. How to Help Teddy Overcome Timidity
- Improve social skills.
If your dog is timid, you should take it out often, expose it to the world, and prevent it from feeling isolated in a confined space.
- Companionship
Owners should spend more time with their Teddy, introducing them to this world. They are afraid to go out and make friends, needing your gradual guidance and encouragement.
- Encourage
After a dog has its hair cut or during its awkward phase, it may look ugly. Don't make fun of it, as this will make it feel inferior. Treat it as usual and don't pay too much attention to it or make fun of it.
- Owner's emotional regulation
A dog's personality is also influenced by its owner. It's hard to raise a lively and lovely dog if the owner is always moody. So if you want your dog to become lively and brave, the owner should first change their own state and become more positive, thus influencing the dog.
