Helping a Fearful Dog Quickly (and without food)

Dave Rocha

A dog training/rehab video, where I show a process I've used on many dogs who are fearful of people. In this case I am working with a female Chihuahua puppy at the shelter. In a nutshell, this process shows the dog that: 1) humans can approach you without harming you; 2) you can approach humans without being harmed. #2 is especially meaningful because it represents a the dog going towards something it was once scared of (thereby decreasing fear). It's similar to human rehabilitation, where thoughts and emotions can follow behaviors (i.e., if I am approaching this object, I'm no longer scared of it).
