Halloween is fast approaching, and our students have already started their training! This year the animatronics available are fast, loud, and very very tall 🫣
Some dogs are indifferent, others spook and need a slower introduction. When we're training, it's okay if a dog startles, what matters most is their recovery. If a dog can't recover and maintains a high level of stress, it is harder for them to work and focus on the task at hand. So how do we help our dogs be comfortable with sudden and shocking things?
Slow introductions, and tasty treats! Whether it's a loud noise, something falling, or Halloween decorations, we start at a distance, where it's quiet and reward the dog, approaching at the dogs pace. No pushing, pressure, just following their lead.
