I answer a lot of question like this, and they tend to get quite long. So, I found some of my answers to similar questions by searching through the "Pets" section of my column. Hopefully some will help you.

That second question is about rabbits, but I thought it might help you since your dog tends to be scared. Perhaps getting your dog used to human interaction will help.

Also, the advice about bringing the dog to the Vet is awsome. You should always bring him to the Vet first to find out if there are any underlying health problems that are causing him to act this way. He could be blind, deaf, have skin problems, or anything else that might be causing him pain.

Dog's often do not show that they are in pain because of their instincts. In the wild, if an animal seems like he/she isn't in top health, then that animal will either get eaten, or left behind to die. But your Vet will be able to tell if he is in pain, and will also be able to tell you a good dog behavioralist in your area that could help you out further.

If the questions that I gave you don't answer your question on what to do, then you can try asking me another question and I'll see if I can help you and your dog out more. It would be a shame if you had to give your puppy up because of this. If he ends up biting another person, then he will most likely need to be put to sleep. If you fix this problem, and are completely aware of it, then you can stop that from happening.
