when she acts like that...do you run over and comfort her? my suggestion is to ingore her...dont baby her...some bullies are more sensitive than others..but can become silly to get extra attention...dont let her run in the house...if she hides dont go looking for her ingore her till she comes out....praise her when she does...make it more pleasant to stay around than to go and hide....
i live behind a air port and when the navy jets are flying the noise is incrediable...charlie was at first scared..but i ingored his reaction..and now he ingores the noise....and stays in the yard..even when you can see the polite waving...

Gus my deaf bulldog is very extroverted..nothing bothers him. he is funny and full of life and just has a blast everyday.
Bella on the other hand is very timid. she is nervous around things that she does not know..or things in the house that change..where Gus just plows through all this.

difference in the bulldogs
one is introverted..that is Bella
one is highly extroverted that is Gus
I love the difference in the bullies..
makes the house very interesting

Mocha was really bad when I first got her but within the 8 months that I've had her she has gotten a lot better. At first she wouldn't walk outside, she was scared of every single noise, she jumped at almost every sudden movement, was scared of anything out of the ordinary. Anything new in the house was avoided and barked at. The biggest advise I can give is CONSISTENCY and lots of praise. Constantly putting her in situations that she is afraid of, eventually she will overcome whatever it is that scares her when she is put in those situations over and over. Now she is 85% better than the first few months she came home with me! Good luck.

He is petrified of lawn mowers, cars, loud noises, etc. Walking outside is not his favorite thing and the slightest noise makes him skittish. When we had a personal trainer he said the best thing you can do is expose him to all sorts of sounds, experiences and to even seek out the things that scare him. For instance when he sees a car back up to put him in the sit position on a leash and give him lots of reassurance.

Good luck!

She is very afraid of new things, she is also scared of anything out of place in the house....if I move anything around, she gets very frightened. But she is playful and loves to rough house with my big dog and is usually the one who initiates the play. Not sure why some dogs are like that.

I accept that Sophia will never be real social out side of my home, and she is afraid of small kids and stuff like that. I just keep her away from them and save her the heart ache:-) No problem for me that she is like that, I don't mind it at all. Not every dog can be a social butterfly:-)

But she's improving as she gets older. We've had 2 other Bullies in years gone by & both were just fearless. I'm sure just like people, each Bullie has a distinct personality. Dolly is kind of endearing because she's a little shy.

Ollie is scared of a lot of things and our vet says he's OCD (his nurse said that's why they get along so well, because the vet is OCD too lol). Ollie is also aggressive with other dogs (except for Chester) out of fear. He usually backs down if they confront him. If I pick up a grocery bag he heads for the hills. We've worked with him a lot, but it's his personality, I don't think he will change drastically altho he has mellowed as he's gotten older.

my Lily is always on guard too, somebody on bdw told me to introduce her to different things very slowly, and reward her and praise her, and as she gets more comfortable with things keep introducing her to new things, but very very slowly, Lily can now enjoy her walks, before she would just be on guard always looking never enjoying herself, now she sniffs marks and pees , no longer on high alert, and she even made a friiend this week. good luck I do know how your are feeling,
