“My dog is afraid of people. He gets along with other dogs, but he hides when people come. I wanted to go on walks with him. He comes out the door and starts shivering. I’ve had him three months now I don’t know what to do.”
We are sorry to hear about your puppy's fear of people. Sadly, some breeds are very vulnerable to anxiety, nerves and specific fear of people. It's a terrible attribute with the disposition often being passed from generation to generation. Our breeders are certified and constantly assessed to ensure that they are providing a loving, healthy environment for their puppies, but regretfully that does not obviate the possibility of a puppy entering the world afraid. But that fact does not make dealing with it any easier. The good news is that because this is such a common condition there is a plethora of online research and recommendations to help you socialize your puppy. We encourage you to take a look and apply some of the socialization techniques other dog owners are suggesting. Another option would be to find a professional dog trainer who specializes in working with fearful puppies and dogs. Let us know if you need a recommendation. And again, we are sorry you and so many other dog owners are faced with a fearful puppy.
“I love PuppySpot. They make finding a healthy puppy from a vetted and backgrounded checked breeder easy. It is different to find a puppy online, but with all the scammers out there, they make it so easy and they are trustworthy. I found my sweet puppy through them and have referred friends and family to PuppySpot. I wish they had a referral program?! Thank you PuppySpot for my sweet puppy! We love her so much!”
“We have 3 PuppySpot puppies in our family! The service is great and the breeders are top quality. I highly recommend getting your next puppy through PuppySpot! Everyone was super helpful and knowledgeable. We love all our pups endlessly and they are all absolutely adorable!! Keep up the good work!”
“Great ability to peruse a variety of healthy puppies, and the team did a great job at explaining their breeder vetting process and how they get puppies home safely.”
“PuppySpot connected my sister to the perfect dog for her and he family. My sister has been allergic to dogs her whole life, but has always wanted a pet for her family to grow up with. PuppySpot offers insight into the hypoallergenic classification of their pups so it made finding the most hypoallergenic dog so much easier for her. She’s a miniature bernedoodle and has the BEST personality. Highly recommend PuppySpot cause it seems like they are very transparent and honest about their dogs background which makes them high credible.”
“I got my da a puppy from PuppySpot. Everyone there was absolutely wonderful and Bentley arrived healthy and happy. My dad is so in love with him and they spend all day together play and taking walks.”
“PuppySpot exceeded all expectations in facilitating the adoption process of our black lab puppy. From the moment we inquired about a puppy to the day our puppy arrived, PuppySpot was extremely helpful!”
“When my family decided to get a dog we had no idea how to go about it. A few days into our search we found Puppy Spot. After that everything was so easy. They helped us find the most adorable and smart and perfect puppy. Gave us full background check on the breeder and we saw a lot of pictures ( and I think video). We paid for the premium drop off package which honestly was well worth it. We have had Emmi for years now and couldn't have been happier with the way Puppy Spot communicated and came through for our family. Thank you Puppy Spot!!”
“Everything was so simple and fast. There were no snags or hang ups. We found a cute puppy and two weeks later we brought home or puppy and he adjusted fine.”
“I got my German Shepherd from puppyspot. From the beginning I could tell how much they care about puppies. I would highly recommend to anyone to go this route.”
“As someone that has received 3 dogs from PuppySpot, I can honestly say I would not go anywhere else. The staff was attentive, quick to respond and answered all my questions. My babies are my life and they are happy, healthy kids!
Thank you PuppySpot and thank your exceptional breeders for raising healthy and happy puppies!”
“Our entire experience with PuppySpot was seamless. From the moment we fell in love with the photo of our black Labrador retriever, verifying his pedigree and vaccination records, through communicating with the sales representative and arranging convenient transportation to bring our puppy home, we couldn't be more pleased. It was very reassuring to know that he was from a vetted breeder. He is such a beautiful, playful and gentle Lab who brings so much happiness to our household!
I definitely recommend PuppySpot to anyone looking for their perfect puppy with the confidence of working with a reliable and professional company.”
“My experience with PuppySpot was excellent and my puppy is even more fantastic. I liked their communication style with me, and the process was easy. My puppy arrived healthy and happy and I would recommend PuppySpot to others looking for a new best friend.”
“Using PuppySpot was very helpful for a first time, puppy owning family. Tons of options, lots of information on all the dogs, very helpful reps from start to finish.”
“PuppySpot brought us our family so much joy at a time where we needed it most. She's sweet, loves to cuddle and has such a great temperament. Anytime we have visitors over they ask if we could clone her...needless to say she has plenty of babysitters :) PuppySpot made the experience so easy. We're so grateful for our puppy!”
“Never ordered a dog online before but it was a very easy process. I was skeptical about ordering a dog sight unseen but the photos were accurate & a good representation of our dog.
The communication and delivery/receiving of our new puppy was super easy and our puppy was happy & healthy upon arrival! 😁”
“We purchased an adorable goldendoodle from PuppySpot and could not be happier. I am not sure what all the negative reviews are all about because we didn't have a single problem. Don't let all the angry people behind a keyboard keep you from something great.”
