You may have a dog who is just generally a nervous Nelly. I know that the natural feeling you may have is to coddle him, but I strongly recommend that you try these dog obedience tips for your scared dog.
 
For starters, you should only give him a treat or show him his favorite toy when he is really stressed out and youare having a hard time controlling his panic. His treats and toys shouldn't be used as a crutch for every littleanxious moment that he has.

When in doubt always use a stern, confident voice. Your natural reaction is going to be to treatthe dog with kid gloves, and use a very sweet and nurturing voice. You've got to fight that urge. Speaking to yourdog in that way, is only going to encourage his anxiety.

It's like the kid who acts up at the store wanting a new toy and the mother breaks down and buys itfor him. Do you think that kid is going to learn anything from that?

Its the same exact way with a dog. A little tough love goes a long way. Also never ask your dog tobehave. You should tell him. It's all done in the tone. Teach the dog a "look at me" command.

This command tries to take the focus off whatever it is that is bothering him and calms him down bywatching his master: somebody who he feels comfortable with.

Try to use some rope that you can play a little tug of war with. Most dogs just love that. That cantake a negative and turn it into something positive in the dog's mind.

Hopefully he will remember that for the next time, and the playing won't be necessary. As alwayscongratulate him, when he does well.

It's as, if not even more important to give him the positive reinforcement when he can remain calm,during his normal high anxiety spells.
