Why is my dog too much shy or submissive with other dogs? General Dog Discussions
Dogs have personalities just like humans do. You should be happy to have such a passive dog. She will grow more confident with age and more socializing...I am sure this is a fairly common trait in many dogs so reading a few training manuals will definitely provide you with some tips to speed up the process...I had a Golden Retriever that would roll on her back when other dogs approched just to show she was very unconfrontational...I started holding her when other dogs approched so she would feel safer (and this would also not allow her to roll onto her back). Eventually she started interacting with other dogs.
