Morteza,
I have a two-year-old Chihuahua who is afraid of almost everything. It seems as if everything is falling on him.

Dear Charlotte,

A professional dog trainer can also help to accelerate this process by challenging your dog further and providing you with the right techniques. You also need to think about training yourself and by this, I mean that you must be a good role model through projecting positive energy while challenging your dog, as opposed to feeling sorry for your dog. Remember that you can’t help anybody if you feel sorry for them and instead, you need to be projecting calm energy.
Good Luck,
Morteza
