How about this article? My Labs are good little boys and girls, so I'm lucky they're good in a crate, try this: http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/Crates.htm

My Labs tended to suffer from the same thing when I first had them, I found this video which hopefully might help you? http://www.ehow.com/video_4943004_building-confidence-dog-training-tips.html

When we were kids we'd stir up the pups into a frenzy, then lie down on the grass, cover our ears and enjoy the attention! As long as they can't put those tiny knives through your ears you're OK. Once my friend poked his tongue out at a pup and the pup licked his tongue. Gross, but I remember thinking how it could have easily bitten into it...

I'm always worried about walking a pup before their shots, I haven't done it very often with my lovelies but I'm not sure what could happen. Was reading the comments on this page about it: http://doghealthplan.org/when-can-i-start-walking-my-dog-in-your-opinion.php

What I found worked for me was companionship - I've found dogs (mine at least) will constantly bark if they're left alone for a while, even now lol. Maybe this ehow page will help: http://www.ehow.com/how_70_train-dog-stop.html

Sooooooo gorgeous, both of them Was watching this video last night, it may be a very good training aid for anyone who has a scaredy-dog hehe
