Afraid dogs

Your puppy can't communicate through speech, so look at their body language and try to recognise how you can meet their needs. A relaxed or calm posture is thought of as the neutral point for all other body languages. It's important that you know what your puppy's baseline body language is so that you can recognise any subtle changes in their behaviour. Your puppy's tail will most likely be in a downward position, but not in-between their legs. If they are relaxed, their tail may be slowly wagging.
