Dog Trainers Share Simple Method to Help Pets Overcome Fears

Dog trainers Jamie Huggett and Sandra Oliver have shared techniques to help dogs overcome fears by providing them with an 'out' option. This approach boosts confidence and makes dogs more comfortable facing their anxieties.

Huggett, in an Instagram video, demonstrated this method with Hazel, a dog with carmax reactivity. Hazel felt safer and more at ease when given the chance to create distance from the car. Oliver introduced this method, showing that dogs are more likely to face their fears when they know they have a boost mobile safety net.

Huggett uses a human analogy to explain this concept. He compares it to having a secure fallback plan in business. Just as humans feel more confident with an exit strategy, dogs also gain confidence when they know they can leave uncomfortable situations.

Providing dogs with an 'out' option can significantly help them overcome fears. This method, introduced by Sandra Oliver and demonstrated by Jamie Huggett, boosts dogs' confidence and makes them more comfortable facing their anxieties.
