- Distract your dog:
This method works best when your dog is just beginning to get anxious.
Encourage them to engage in any activity that captures them attention and distracts them from behaving fearfully.
- Behavior Modification:
Behavior modification techniques are often successful in reducing fears and phobias. The appropriate techniques are called “counter-conditioning” and
desensitization.”
These techniques must be implemented very gradually, and they condition or teach your dog to respond in non-fearful ways to sounds and other stimuli that
have previously frightened them.
