The Second Fear Period
Posted on August 19, 2008
i think liame is officially moving into his second fear period. we went back to the dentist yesterday and liame was afraid of walking on the grates in the sidewalk. ive also noticed that he has started to show fear of jumping onto his step when getting out of the car. i now understand how frustrating this can be to have a dog that you trained and trained and trained to desensitize to EVERYTHING you could think of and to then have this irrational fear of something so familiar pop up. with the pigeon incident and now the fear responses to familiar items, i am now POSITIVE that its time to start wearing the bait bag 24 hours a day again. the bait bag pictured is in this post is the nicest i have used. its pouch snaps close, 2 pockets, rings where you can attach things to it and it goes all the way around a large womans waist. to my bait bag i attached a dog bag holder of which i am currently using to hold a bottle of soap since i have soap allergies, a clicker and i put a squeaker in the front pocket for those days when i cant seem to get his attention even with food. its the perfect little training utility.
