Dealing with a scared dog is common when you adopt a rescue or save a lost or abandoned dog. The first impression you make with your new furry friend is a lasting one, so make sure you get off on the right foot -- or paw. For example, if a child asks to pet the dog, make sure your dog is not displaying fear or growling. If your dog appears calm and happy, instruct the child that she can slowly pet your dog’s back if she is gentle. Explain that your dog is a little shy. But if a child comes running over, stand between her and your dog as you explain that your dog is nervous.
