Desensitization


I wonder if that's even a word. None the less Boone is working on overcoming his fear of traffic sounds. I took him to class last night where he got to sit in an ex-pen for a few hours. He did pretty good- even took treats from my friends. Vito came along to keep him company. And now that the weather is better we walk to work in the morning- and home in the afternoon depending on the day. He does pretty good and doesn't startle anymore at bus sounds- just flicks an ear.


Once he is not afraid of the sounds I will start to ask him to do simple things- and build up to him actually being able to learn. It is pretty hard to learn when you are scared!
