Hi.
I have a pit that's roughly a year old. His name is Kobe (yep named after THAT Kobe, ). We got him from Fulton County Animal services.
Anyway, his confidence seems to be shot lately. He was a very confident little puppy. Now he's about 50lbs of scared. It makes it hard to walk him because he's pulling trying to get back home. He's afraid of people and really nervous about typical traffic noises, especially buses.
This is my first pit and first ever skittish dog. He's been to obedience training and did very well. There were no issues with socialization or timidness. I take him to the dog park (I know, can't do that much when he's older) and he gets along fine with every person and dog there.
This has become really frustrating. What can I do to help him relax and get his confidence back?
