BUT it doesn't matter, Juno turned out to be much more confident and calm than him and she's been complimented many times over for her "breed" at the hospital. I'm really lucky that way. but I've also worked her a lot too... she did have her fears. even today i was working on one fear both dogs have, which is stepping over a grated drain in our driveway. Loki learned/overcame it while she was hospitalized. i worked with her today and she's making baby steps! but working on EVERY fear you see in a dog, always builds their overall confidence. some people would shrug and say "who cares she doesn't want to walk over the drain, she can step around it?" I say, conquer every fear from now until their last day on earth. Even if its something you may never see again, it's worth trying to work them through it. every time a fear is overcome builds their overall confidence and trust that you will never ask them to do something that will hurt them. <br /><br />way to go Miko! I would do the same thing with the collar/leash. good thinking! that's why you're an awesome foster. (can you foster me?)<br />~wags-n-wiggles~<br />wild dingoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
