Just like a human can be shy around strangers and clam up in a new social gathering, so can dogs. In fact, your doggy may be struggling with being shy or nervous right now.

Poor thing! If you're worried about your pup you have good reason to, it's not very fun seeing your doggy get nervous when all you want your Pug to do is enjoy her new doggy friends and human interactions!

Luckily there are many ways he can overcome her shy or nervous behavior. It will take a lot of patience on your part, but she's worth it, right? Keep in mind if you just adopted a Pug you should give her a few weeks to get acquainted with her new surroundings first before you introduce her to new sights, people, and social situations.

If you try to take her too many places at once she may get overwhelmed and become even more shy. This can also lead to aggression, which you definitely don't want to take place.
