Molie
This face is Molly.
Another shelter adoption. She is quite phobic and for the first few days she refused to leave the house. She did not potty outside the house because of the stress caused by even low-intensity environmental sounds.
Those who have worked with such dogs know that rewards do not work in a high stress situations. The role of the trainer is to guide the handlers to provide safety to the dog in the least intrusive manner.
We finished the 3rd lesson with a walk around the neighborhood and Molly responded quite well. The path is long and demanding. I am sure that in the end we will have a tremendous improvement in their daily life. From me, a big Respect to those who adopt responsibly and do not buy.
