5. The Dog’s Fear Of The Dark
Dogs fear of the dark is due to the lack of light hides dangers, such as predators, sharp objects, and poisonous plants. But it may be associated with a traumatic event that happened at night. Don’t force your dog out at any time that he is uncomfortable. The only way to deal with a fearful dog is not to reinforce his negative behavior. Use snacks, caresses, or some kind of stimulus to get him out when he is at ease. If you go for a walk at night and the dog shows signs of wanting to return, it is best to do so.
