FOR YOU, WHOSE VACUUM CLEANER IS SCARY
HABITUATION TO EVERYDAY STIMULI
We will work on the encouragement of your puppy, revealing the sources of his fear in a pleasant and gentle way. Gradually, at your dog's pace, with a lot of patience and unstressful practice, we will introduce him to the objects and items that make him feel insecure and fearful. During the puppy's sensitive period in his new home, new stimuli can be frightening. Also, unexpected fear reactions around even familiar surroundings can develop as a result of brain maturation processes. With exercises tailored to your dog, we will gradually build confidence, self-regulation, and neutrality towards these objects, items, and situations. Rescue dogs may react with fear to objects they have never seen before, so we will help soften the familiarisation process to make interactions with the items they are afraid of trauma-free, pleasant, playful, and enjoyable. My survey will reveal if therapy is needed.
