Does the slightest
change in routine, loud noise or new experience ruin your dog's weekend?
If your dog just can't even
when they...
Are left alone
See new people places or dogs
Are asked to do something new or challenging
Anxiety Isn't rational... therefore traditional
training methods that focus on rewarding good and punishing bad
leaves out some very important
pieces of the puzzle
Is your dog satisfied with their LIFESTYLE?
Do they understand what is expected of them?
Are they experienced enough with this task/environment for the expectation you are setting?
Anxiety in dogs can be a BEAR of an issue. Some dogs struggle with even the most mundane tasks, while others only struggle with very specific triggers
the common thought in most dog owners is to just keep putting the dog in the same senario and that after the 127th time the dog will just accept things and be fine.
When what you're actually doing is just continuing to prove your dogs anxieties right! You're tossing them into the deep end, AGAIN AND AGAIN and expecting them to swim... But did you do anythign to ensure success?
Did you?
Introduce them to the idea of water and getting wet to make a slow introduction?
Build confidence to new and novel situations so that things arn't scarey for no reason?
Build trust in your guidance so that they believe you when you tell them they will be ok?
Give them a reason to WANT to jump in?
Teach them both how to swim AND exit the pool to safety?
These questions are not a GOTCHA! they are just an example of all of the ways we can build towards success with your anxious dog!
They just need YOU to guide them to their best life
