It has been our experience that almost every Aussie goes through several “fear periods” during their first two years. These can occur when it is anywhere from a few weeks to over a year old. Suddenly everything becomes a “booger”. You might walk out one morning and the dog barks at you like youre a stranger. Things that it has seen every day since birth are new experiences. It acts scared of everybody and everything. This stage can last from one week to several weeks but with few exceptions, they all do recover. During this fear period, we continue to treat our dogs just as we always have. Dont pamper them, just normal treatment like nothing is wrong. One day youll go outside and everything will be back to normal.
