Think about... #17
“You must remain focused on your journey to greatness.”
- Les Brown
Hello and welcome!
Are you handing out awards to yourself and your family, even neighbors? Don‘t be shy doing that. I am not talking about lavish and expensive rewards. It can simply be a pat on the shoulder and words of cheerful praise. Award yourself for doing this important noise phobia therapy (for prevention or cure) for your dog. Cherish the positive Steps you manage to take onwards in this process. Try to do this as enjoyable as you possibly can. But remember, when the sounds are playing, cool down, and behave as if nothing special is going on. By that, your dog learns that the sounds don‘t matter.

Page Suggestion: The Fear Signs page
To safely go through the therapy process, you must know if your dog is relaxed or under stress during the the playing sessions. To get information about all the possible, clear or subtle, signs of stress, simply go tothe Fear Signs page.
