Why Do we Expose?

DateTuesday, March 15, 2011 at 4:20PM

We fear what we do not know. By exposing ourselves or our dogs a bit each day, we condition them to getting used to new things. We help them to gain 'good' coping skills when we are consistent and we do it in a positive way.

It's so easy to be too busy and not be able to. We all live very busy lives but it actually only takes 10 minutes to 20 minutes each day. A drive to the park, a walk, a drive to your pet store to get others to treat your dog and say hello. It's all an opportunity to meet and greet humans and canines alike. The more they see in a positive way, the more relaxed they will become and the better they will be.

There are days I don't feel like it especially when I am sick but I do it and at the end of the day. I am glad that I spent that quality time knowing I was helping my dawgs to become balanced. What can be better than that?
