When you integrate the learning of how to apply modern dog behavior techniques, you’re able to draw on these skills and apply them into your day to day.
The knowledge becomes how you take action.
Hanna and her family continue to put the knowledge they gained into action even after 6 months of their program ending with me.
They value prioritizing Hanna’s emotional needs when they encourage her to experience new situations.
This choice of keeping Hanna safe and being the safe base she needs, she grows in her confidence and comfortability with how she perceives new situations like hanging out a Lowe’s with her family.
They took their time and allowed Hanna to guide them in their next steps.
On their first trip to Lowe’s in 6 months, Hanna made the choice to go in the first sliding glass doors, but then hesitated at the second set.
“Once we went outside, she saw another dog go in, Hanna turned around and walked through both doors and into the store. She walked through both doors and into the store. She walked around the garden center fine and went in the side doors into he store a few time, even through the active set of sliding doors.”
Hanna also is making the choice to go into a local pet store and is able to access her curiosity because she’s feeling more at ease with the situation.
“She will go into Mud Bay now and walk around the store. She will get on the scale there if we move it away from the wall.”
Hanna’s family recognized how they can modify the environment, so Hanna can be successful and see how to do this through the lens of understanding her emotional needs first and foremost.
