1. Loose leash while walking on road. 2. Checking in with me. 3. Relaxed face while wearing muzzle. A trifecta 🤗❤️

Today we were working on Yuvia’s fear of public spaces, moving people, and overall #desensitizing to noises in a quiet-ish café.

Previously she would dig constantly and try to run and hide.

We have a long way to go but appreciate all the little steps and improvements.

Looking for people who also work with their fearful/anxious dogs to build confidence and make them feel safe to share little wins and celebrate progress.
