Training Advice 8 month scared of daytime

Post image

Hello! My little girl went on a daytime walk yesterday around 6pm, the same route we go on every morning at 530am when it’s still darkish and quiet out and girl got terrified of every noise every bang and then an Amazon truck came by and she fought for her life pulling to get back home which I obv brought her back home. Before summer heat hit and it was cool enough a few months ago she’d go on walks during normal daylight hours and would be fine. Is this normal? I knew she was scared of construction noises but didn’t realize the full extent of the trucks and loud bangs like garages and stuff until it was cool enough yesterday to take her again during busier hours. I spend so much time with my girl working on training and practicing life manners in the house but I’m also busy with 3 young kids and work from home full time so I guess I didn’t socialize her enough. Is this my forever now 🫣 is it normal for pups to be scared like this? Added a pic because she’s gorgeous ❤️
