I have met dogs that took some time getting used to a new situation but honestly I do not prefer these dogs. They either have ball drive or they don't. Same thing with the K-9's we train. They can't shut down just because.....

thanks for your comment,i agree with you this dog has had 1 month to adjust and and is afraid to leave the kennel.I'm used to dogs that if you shipped them around the world,as soon as they're feet hit the ground they are ready to work.

How much interaction does he have with you? Has a bond been made or is he just been in the kennel. I'm a little confused. Did you just get this dog. Did you just sell this dog? Can you please give a few more details. Thanks Pete

I agree with BHall. Sounds like a genetic temperament problem.

Really jumping the gun here, aren't we? Genetics??? What's next? Need more details!!!

It's the trembling coward part, that bothers me. Honestly, I've had dogs that you wouldn't be able to get to tremble I'm sure of it.

It is not at all uncommon. I have talked to a few military working dog trainers who have experienced
the same thing from dogs newly imported. These are dogs who the trainers went to Germany, Belgium,
Poland etc..., worked and then hand picked. Usually the dogs recover within 2 weeks though and are
the same as when they saw the dogs in their homeland.

I import many dogs and 80% of them are ready to play at the airport. 10% pretty much let me know that if I touch them right now I will most likely die. 5% of them just ignore me but are not fearful . The other 5% are scared with the tail between their legs...... I give all of them time to adjust but most of the time those dogs will always have some fear issues and they are not able to work the streets. These dogs to me have weak nerves. I am not saying a dog should be full of joy for being in a crate for 18 hours but I can pretty much tell a dogs temperament when I pick them up.

well my friend purchased this male about 5 weeks ago and spends time with him every day hoping to see the dog that was said to be very out going,only to see the same scared and shy dog that wants to retreat back to the safety of his kennel.The thing that unsets him the most is that he purchased this dog from a sv judge that has over 30 years in professional dog training.And when he notifies the seller/sv judge they want answer his calls and blocks his email.I have to agree with bhall,i have been working with dogs for over 40 yrs and my experience is that a good dog, out of good genetics, is pretty darn tenacious,especially the strong, and serious,high drive type.
