Answer 1

She is likley not shy because of abuse, as many dogs(and people) are just naturally shy, or have not been properly socialized as puppies.
The breed that I raise has to be taken everywhere to meet new people from the time they are vaccinated, or they will always be shy with people. However, they are THE bravest hunters!

Here is a great lesson and advice on dealing with the timid dog.

Answer 2

Has she been PRE- OWNED? Do you know anything about the dogs history if she was?
IF not is she still YOUNG? Puppies have a tendency to show submission to the ALPHA DOG, or parent, which in this case IS YOU! She is just showing YOU that she knows you are BOSS.
Some young puppies even dogs will crawl submissively on the belly and sometimes pee in that spot or turn belly UP and also pee, this is showing the OWNER that you are the TOP DOG!
Do not scold this behavior it is natural for a dog to do this.
Maybe you speak loudly and do not know it? Try speaking in a lower volume if that is the case. Some people have loud voices naturally and this can frighten a dog without trying to.
Speaking calmly will help and play games and let her learn that you are family and she will learn that she does not need to show submission all the time. If she was pre-owned and abused you can still gain her trust just be patient.
See your VET if you have other concerns or if she continues to behave like this. Maybe the Vet will have other options for you to look at. See some of the sites listed too.
OH and YES dogs do understand us, they understand our emotions, body language and energy. Do not let anyone tell you differently.

Answer 3

Kyle,

She might have been kenneled with other more dominant dogs.
Submission / avoidance is a defense mechanism used to ensure health and harmony in the pack.
This defense mechanism becomes an auto response/behavior.
I feel from the limited info I have, that she sees you as the ultra alpha male. Do the best you can to positively reinforce her.
Praise her when she does something good.
Don't scold her too loud or too long when she dose something bad.
Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Not much info to work on here, ummm, I think the dog is probably older than a pup, and you just recently got her? If so, she has had a master in the past that abused her, just be gentle and loving to her, and eventually she'll get her self esteem back, or develope a trust in you that makes her more self confident.

Answer 5

me and my boyfriends sister have two brothers that are jack russel/beagle mixes. Mine is very outgoing andloves people, while hers has always been shy, he is nervous around people and stays away, sometime often gets scared and barks at people walking down the street. I dont think it is from abuse, since they both came from the same litter, and mine is fine, so i think its just who the puppy is.

Answer 6

She is being submissive. The fastest way to a dog's heart is through the stomach. Always have treats in your pocket and give everytime you enter the room she is in with a happy higher pitched voice.

Just pet her and talk to her (yeah I know she doesn't understand you, but when she gets used to your voice she will feel soothed by it). Also when you are near her, attempt to give her a treat... it might make her break out of her shell. If she continues to do this, take her to a vet.
