Great article thanks!

My Great Dane pup is going through the second fear phase now. At 5 months old he's 60lbs and has started being overly cautious on our walks and overly startled at loud stimuli. He Freaked Out at a little ankle biter barking today and if I wasn't calm, and he wasnt wearing his harness, it would have been a big problem. Dogs smell fear and if you're afraid when they are it makes them feel insecure and nobody wants that. Stay calm, help them center themselves and let them inpect what scares them in a calm manner and all is good.
