Do you find your dog is nervous in new environments? 😣
Here’s some things you can do to help:
1. Expose your dog to new environments often. Try and go out once a day if possible. Keep it short and sweet! 5 minutes is better than nothing and your dog learns through repetition, not duration.
2. Turn your outing into a positive by turning it into a fun game by bringing a toy your dog loves and playing with them.
3. Bring your dogs meal and turn your outing into meal time. This is extremely helpful especially if your dog loves food.
4. Teach your dog to jump on different objects. This will help them learn they are more capable than they think!
Miss Lola used to be very nervous and through doing these things over and over again, she’s realized it’s fun going out and exploring which has helped her confidence in new environments. ☺️
