To be comfortably acclimated to city living, dogs generally need extensive exposure to urban settings between the ages of 7 to 16 weeks. If this critical period is missed and the puppy exhibits anxiety in response to urban stimuli, those behaviors are likely to continue throughout her life. While one can make some progress in managing these issues through exposure therapy, the opportunity for complete acclimation is largely lost after that initial timeframe.

We recommend finding and working with a dog behaviorist who specializes in that.
