This technique is very useful for anything that scare your dog. When I see my GSD afraid of something I help him to go explore his fear and if the sound is scary I give a threat each time the sound is made
What are some things that might make your dog a little nervous at first?
I got Marzieh when she was 8 weeks old and realised that she was terrified of the sound of 2 metal things clinking together. She would hide in a garden and shake. I removed metal things, like replacing the metal water bowl with a plastic one. She was also nervous of noisy vans and one day she panicked and nearly pulled me into the road when 4 lorries with cranes went past. But months later there was a horse fair where I live, so I went down the hill with a big packet of treats and every time a horse and cart came by I gave her a treat. She got to the point of looking for the treat as the horse approached. She has been much better with vans and lorries since then.
We have trained our dogs from the very beginning to be comfortable with loud noises. The only problem is now they like them so they like to get in the way of the vacuum or they don’t care to move when they’re laying where I’d like to vacuum lol.
This is flooding. Not empathy.
Oh, my goodness! We are going through this very thing, although, I can’t decide if Trixie is terrified of it or loves it…she chases toward it and barks and wags her tail 🙂
What about a dog who chases and bites the vacuum?
Your posts show so much love ❤ towards dogs. It warms my heart every time😊
Taking our dog on the subway is a stressful time. She’s been going regularly since 9 weeks old. Now 6 months, it stresses her out, but she gets through it. Loads of praise and comforting is all we could do. She usually refuses treats in that environment.
