My portugese water dog now 1 years old has developed a now serious problem with me starting my engine for my gas scooter, as a puppy I accidently encouraged her barking and it may have frightened her. Anyway now she barks and tries to bite and or attack the scooter. It really upsets me because I have read stress can kill dogs by heart attafck. She has a full blown panic attack and desprately looks for something to chew to calm her nerves. I really need help. How do I make her comfterble with me starting engines and gas scooters or minibikes!? Please its serious and really scares me, she still goes crazy if I put her inside and now has developed agression where if I try to hold her from going out so I can go out and leave her inside she will bite me. It is really scaring me and I desprately need a solution, I am only 15 years old so dog training claSses are not a option. But I lover her and want things to be better so I am willing to put as much time into it as needed. Plz help!!!

Recommended Answer:Desensitize her to the minibike, and counter-condition her to associate it with positive things. Read:
