Fear and Highly Anxious Dog Training

Living with an anxious or fearful dog can affect daily routines and quality of life. AweDogs Dog Trainers works with dogs experiencing anxiety to build confidence, stability, and predictable behavior.

Our training supports dogs who struggle with fear around other dogs, unfamiliar people, new environments, or separation. Sessions are structured to reduce stress while improving your dog’s ability to cope.

Signs Your Dog May Have Anxiety or Fear

Anxiety often appears through consistent behavioral patterns, including:

• Panting or excessive yawning
• Pacing or restlessness
• Compulsive behaviors
• Growling or excessive barking
• Withdrawal or disinterest

Recognizing these signs early helps prevent escalation.

What Causes Anxiety in Dogs

Anxiety can develop from past experiences, lack of early exposure, genetics, or sudden changes in routine. Common triggers include separation, noise, unfamiliar people, other dogs, or new environments. Understanding the source of anxiety guides effective training.

Our Approach to Anxiety and Fear-Based Training

Training begins with a detailed assessment of your dog’s behavior and triggers. Our trainers use gradual exposure and structured exercises to expand your dog’s comfort zone.

Positive experiences are introduced at a pace your dog can handle. This approach builds trust, confidence, and calmer responses over time.

Helping Your Dog Feel Safe and Confident

The goal is a dog that feels secure in their surroundings and can handle everyday situations with ease. With professional guidance, anxious behaviors can be reduced and replaced with calmer habits.
