Session One:
- Homework before class was to have your dog happily bond with their crate.
- At the first class, we let the dog get used to their surroundings. (short!)
- Back into the car (or crate in the car)
- Then baby steps to what they fear the most, giving rewards and treats as they look to you.
The picture is from today.
- We went to a local car wash that had lots of noises and smells.
We even had a man in a wheelchair and a slowly moving car. - Back into the car, he enjoyed gobs of more praise and treats.. he did so well, and very little anxiety
