How I work with a fearful dog
No treats. Ever. I praise with my voice and my hands.
Be clear. Be fair. Mean what you say.
There are lessons on fear of objects, sounds, trash cans and hands.
And the crate myth gets its own lesson.
I'm Lee Seibold, "Dogtor Lee."

I've trained thousands of dogs over 14 years, and more than 1,300 dog owners use my app.
I've worked with puppies that bite everything, big dogs that drag their owners down the street, and dogs that had already been through other trainers. The same principles work across all of them: be clear, be fair, and mean what you say.
Brave Builder is how I work with fearful dogs, in 6 short lessons.
This is for you if:
- Your dog is scared, shy or nervous
- Your dog ducks from hands or bolts from the trash can
- You've been gentle and waited, and it hasn't gotten better
- You're OK being clear and fair with your dog
This isn't for you if:
- You only want to use treats and never correct your dog

Questions
How long is it?
6 short, binge-worthy lessons. Watch them all tonight.
My dog is scared of hands. Is this for that?
Yes. "Fearful of Hands" is its own lesson. Trash cans have one too, and objects and sounds share one.
Isn't being gentle the kind thing to do?
Babying a scared dog keeps it scared. Fearful dogs need a leader they can lean on.
Do you use treats?
No treats. Ever. I praise with my voice and my hands.
Is this harsh? Do I have to be tough on my dog?
No. You don't need to dominate your dog or punish them harshly. I teach fair consequences, matched to your dog, never more than your dog needs.
What if I get stuck?
If you want me to look at your dog, send me a video for a one-time $17 Personal Video Review. You can add it at checkout.
How do I get access?
Right after checkout you get an email with your login. Watch on your phone or computer. Access is for life.
