What Is With This Dog?

"My dog will not take a treat, and she used to love these!"

I watched as the woman offered him the dog treats, and he completely avoided them. His eyes were darting around constantly, and he was panting a bit.

"When a dog is nervous or obsessive, he is not going to eat. In order for him to eat, he needs to relax." The blank stare I was getting told me all I needed to know.

I took the dog for a walk to make him comfortable with me. I gave him a little water and a pinch of food, since he was not hot.

Each time he became unsure, I made him look at me. This way he was forced to focus on something other than fear.

The woman tried what I suggested to overcome his nervous dog behavior. Now she has no trouble getting her dog to finish his dog treats.
