We have two 7 month old Great Pyrenees systers, plus a 6.5 month old Golden Retreiver.
For the past 7 weeks or so, Puddles, our Pyrenees, exhibits fear of many things - people, especially children, large objects, sudden movement. While she was once as happy and friendly as the other two dogs, she is now scared of so many things. She is afraid of people and other dogs who come into the yard and runs to the farthest corner. She is very frightened of cars and loud engines.
We wonder if someone could have come up to our yard and frightened her, although we live in a remote area with neighbors not too close, except in back, where there are small children. I have never seen the children come near the fence.
They are all in training class and the trainer is working on Puddle's fear. I wonder if anyone has any experience in the subject. She is also the dog who barks the most, especially after it gets dark and early in the morning when we first put them out. We live near the forest and animals are about, but I wonder if she is barking from fear. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.
