From: "Davvee" ere
The original incident happened in my brothers backyard. My wife heard a big yelp coming from our dog. Right after that she (our dog, not my wife) ran into the house and onto my lap, where she stayed for the remainder of the evening. we aren't sure about what hapened, but these dogs have been playing every few days together for about a year and have always gotten along well. My dog weighs about 22 pounds...the lab is 85. Since then, she is very timid around other friendly dogs...jumpy....quick to run away or hide behind me when we are on walks. So the dog was actually rewarded for being scared. Make sure you aren't rewarding being scared by coddling the dog, ignore her when she's scared, reward her when she's brave. And yes, take her to the vet, she may be in pain. Yes, I would get her back together with the Lab (if she checks out with the vet), just a few minutes at a time., don't force anything, just reward her for being brave, tell her she's a good girl, toss a treat, whatever works for her.
