hello all
i have my goldendoodle female puppy who is about to be 7 months in 10 days... I got her from a breeder when she was 9 weeks old and i would say that everything has been going pretty well. She's a happy puppy for most of the time, having really good socialization with other dogs, a bit less with humans due to covid - but still a very friendly doggy.
One thing that has been worrying me however is how much anxiety she has... she's very noise sensitive and gets scared to the point that she starts shaking. the noise can be anything... from the water in the pipes of the central heating, to a door that closed abruptly on the street or a car that went by very fast. Since the beginning i have been desensitizing her with all kinds of situations but it seems that lately it's getting worse... Today for example, i was working in my home office, so it was very quiet in the apartment, until she heard something from the street. She came running to my office, tail tucked between the legs, sat next to me and looked terrified... She even started shaking... it took her 30 mins to relax...
Now, this is not something that anyone would want for their puppy... I have heard that this will all go away as soon as she gets her first period, which might be just around the corner. But, I wonder if other people have had similar experiences and if so, if you have managed to overcome it and how. Of course, every doggy is different, but still I would appreciate any personal experiences that might help me understand whether this is rather serious and needs medical attention or something that will naturally go away.
thanks!
