Why Is My Dog So Unsociable?

Many dogs experience shyness due to certain experiences in their past, such as being mistreated and abused. One of the most common causes of shy behavior is a lack of exposure to new people and places at a young age.

How do you fix an unsocial dog?

Safely expose your dog to different social activities

For example, instead of just taking your unsocialized dog into a dog park and hoping for the best, you can expose them slowly by walking them around the outside of the fence and letting them see the dogs play and have fun.

Why is my dog suddenly antisocial?

A sudden spate of antisocial behaviour can be a reaction to a traumatic event or experience. Maybe he's been attacked by another dog in the past, so he's bound to be wary and on his guard.
