Hi everyone! My name is Laura and I'm new here. I hope to come often and partake in many discussions about our basset babies.
I have an almost three year old female basset. I am having issues getting her to socialize with other dogs. She loves my other dog (male senior cocker spaniel) and my dad's dogs (female beagle/basset and male mini schnauzer) but absolutely will not socialize with other animals. She is also terrified of other people and noises.
I take her to a local dog park often (maybe not often enough?) but it doesn't seem to help. Also, I am looking for any help breaking her of her paranoia of strangers and noises. I don't know what to do. If someone comes up and wants to pet her, she runs away (or tries to wriggle out of her collar/leash). If she hears a noise while we're inside she barks and howls and hides somewhere near me.
I am looking for any advice I can get! I don't want my baby girl to be terrified forever.
