Fear Biters.

PictureSpud, not a fear biter at all!
What is fear biting? 
One of the most dangerous dogs to have is a dominant dog who is not confident in new situations that fear bite. This type of dog will move towards you showing aggression until he feels the situation is safe. The other type is a submissive or timid dog. This type of dog will generally be backing away from you and will only actually bite if they feel really threatened, for example being cornered or picked up.

What causes a dog to fear bite?
This type of behavior stems from the dog not being confident. This is caused by lack of socialization with people and other dogs. It can also occur if the dog has not been exposed to different situations, i.e.: noise, children, busy places.  If a dog doesn’t know how to deal with these situations or has never been made to work through it confidently, their natural reaction is to bite. Being dog owners we tend to try and avoid putting our dogs through these situations. However, exposing them to different situations in a safe manner can help our furry friends develop a healthy, confident mind and give them the ability to cope with any situation without resorting to biting. This is especially important when developing a young pups mind. It is a lot easier to create a well rounded and stable dog from a younger age.
