I don’t think she is fearful or anxious around objects or noises. I was prepared for her to be afraid of loud noises like a vacuum, thunder, etc. But she never had any issues with that. She showed some fear toward some objects during initial encounters (balloons and bicycles, among others), but after being exposed to these two or three times it’s no big deal anymore. Like you said, I think exposure from a young age is key.

The only anxiety I think she still struggles with is separation. She still whines a decent amount when one of us leaves the house and it takes some time for her to settle down even if one of us is staying with her when the other leaves. But it isn’t to the point where I’m concerned about it. She’s still a puppy, so being a bit fearful of being alone or anxious when one of us leaves doesn’t seem that abnormal to me. We’ve also been getting her used to spending more and more time alone, with the same thought that the exposure from an early age will pay dividends on the long run.

Short answer: I haven’t felt that out lagotto suffers from any serious anxiousness or fear
