I bought a 1 year old fearful dog; she wasn't socialized.
I first tried obedience class, and the shrinking violet shrunk even more.
Then I tried conformation class. She had to stand, walk, pose next to other dogs. She had to be 'touched' by a judge for examination. She was given constant praise and a lot of liver treats.
Initially it took a lot out of her, and I poured her into the car when class was over.
