   Take care to help your dog build relationships. Aside from you, dogs need to build trust with others and with other dogs. This can be difficult for dogs that have been severely abused. You should gradually bring the dog to meet other people and other dogs from a certain distance, then bring the dog closer. You can ask a volunteer to pretend to be a stranger so that the dog can get acquainted if you do not want the dog to become aggressive and frighten others.
   • If you and your dog are really close, you can take another dog home for your dog to get acquainted with. If this is not possible, simply take the dog for a longer walk to give the dog a chance to meet other dogs.
   • If your dog has never been abused but is afraid to communicate, it may look like it has been mistreated. You should help dogs who are afraid to communicate build relationships around them, even if they have never been mistreated before.

Method 3 of 3: Dog Training

   Reward your dog instead of punishing it. You should treat the dog positively rather than punish because dogs often associate action with reward rather than punishment.

   Use the method of opposing conditions. The conditional method is very useful in dogs with a particular fear. This approach helps the dog get closer to the scare animal by seducing it with a favorite dog.
   • For example, if your dog is afraid of bicycles, you can place your dog's favorite toy or junk food near the bike. After your dog has been deceived, you can increasingly close the distance between the food or the toy and the object the dog is afraid of.

3. 

   Teach your dog to follow basic commands. Teaching your dog to obey can take a long time because dogs have been living in abuse. As long as you build enough trust between you and your dog, the dog will eventually obey you.
   • Start with the commands "sit" and "come here". These commands will set the stage for more difficult commands like "tiptoe", "lie down" and many more.

4. 

   Patience. Be very patient with a dog that has suffered a lot from abuse. You can create behavioral education plans for your dog, but don't be too impractical. Dogs have many reasons not to trust you because they have been mistreated by humans. Give your dog time and show himself a trustworthy person every day. advertisement
