Welcome to the
Lunch'n'Learn weekly update!
Every week I'll share a story from my Lunch'n'Learn adventures, or a cunning idea
that you can use to help reduce your dog's boredom when home alone.
Spencer: the scaredy boy who learned to trust through Lunch'n'Learn
Spencer
might be a huge German Shepherd, but inside he's still such a scaredy cat. He
gets worried about people, and sometimes other dogs, so going out with a dog
walker is never an option for Spencer.
Instead,
Spencer has been enjoying a mixture of Home Ed sessions with me to build up his
trust and confidence. I met him with his owner first of all, and we went
through exactly what Spencer needed from me.
To start
with Spencer would play fetch with me, but the ball was dropped just out of
reaching distance from me. Definitely no touching! It took a lot of self
control to not stroke him, he is so gorgeous!
Each session followed a
routine so Spencer could predict what I was going to do. Nervous dogs usually
do better when they know what's going to happen - because they have less to
worry about.
Having that routine with
Spencer finally paid off when one day he dropped his sopping wet ball into the
palm of my hand and asked me to throw it again for him.
I’ve never been so delighted
to receive something so disgusting!
Is your dog feeling jealous?
