To Debra regarding her poodle that is afraid

Hi Debra:

That is not natural for a Standard Poodle to be so afraid, there has been some abuse. You will gain the trust over time but maybe not completely, that is so sad that your dog is afraid, just keep letting him come to you and don't force him to go eventually he will trust you and feel at ease, one thing I do is take Coco out everyday and let him run free in a baseball field, he really thinks a lot of himself and has so much confidence, you may want to try spending a lot of one on one time also if that is possible. I hope things change so that your poodle can enjoy the life you are willing to give him.

Thanks

Pat
