How to Desensitize Your Dog with Sounds

Your dog will be exposed to many new sounds/experiences that may cause them fear or shyness. Think construction sites, horses, vacuums, etc.! Desensitization is the simple act of changing that stimulus from something that causes fear, to something that has a positive association. Desensitizing your dog or puppy to sounds before they happen in 'real life' will help your dog's confidence and help avoid fear in their life. The best way to learn how to desensitize your dog is by watching the video. Here is a quick overview ⤵️ Step 1- Play a sound at a low volume. Step 2- As you play the sound, give your dog a treat. Step 3- Slowly repeat steps 1-2 until you can reach full volume. If your dog gets nervous/scared at any point, lower the volume and try again. Remember, this process can take weeks to months depending on your dog's history, fear level, and what the trigger might be... so be patient!
