Just give her time to adjust, and don't traumatize her more by forcing her to be around people, especially men, until she develops a little more confidence. She might have had a bad experience to overcome, and these things take time and TLC.

I have a year old mixed, male dog. He has been neutered. The problem is that he is timid and easily frightened of noises and sudden movements, to the extent that he does not play.


The puppy that I got from the pound a few months ago is terrified of people, in particular men. When I first got her, she wasn't nearly so nervous, but after she turned about 4 months she's gotten worse. What do I do to make her less timid?
