Graeme Hall talks through the different ways fear can manifest in dogs: flight, fight, freezing, and fawning. He helps a listener whose chihuahua’s fear presents as aggression, as well as explaining how you can praise the moments of curiosity and calm rather than panicking in the height of the fearful state.
