Using food is great ✅
However it can also be used incorrectly and cause confliction ❌
If you really want to make progress with a nervous dog, these tips can make a huge difference.
✅Be mindful of where they are. Are you are backing them into a corner or attempting this in an area where they feel they have no escape? That can cause confliction and more stress.
✅Watch your eye contact 👀. You need to keep a careful watch of their position but not actually stare at them. Eye contact can frighten some dogs and can make them react aggressively if they feel threatened.
✅Don't insist on a sit or a down, it may not be helpful at all as for many nervy dogs it is just a change of position, they are still just as nervous and we can misread a sit as "Oh good they are ok now".
✅Be mindful of your body. Keep your movements limited and when you do move be thoughtful. Slapping your thighs or clapping to get a nervous dogs attention can be intimidating.
✅Keep your voice natural and light. Some dogs may respond better when there is silence especially if they feel they have been "tricked" before by someone coaxing them and then doing something they viewed as unpleasant.
✅Do you have an escape route planned, that may sound extreme but some dogs can behave unpredictably when stressed and your safety is a priority.
✅Personally I never crouch in front of a dog to do this, crouching can put your centre of gravity off balance and there is an extra few seconds involved if you have to stand and retreat.
✅Are you nervous to even attempt this ? The time to do this may be later when you do see a better opportunity or when your nerves have lessened. Dogs easily pick up on our own emotions

Take your time.
You may need to repeat this multiple times until you see that little glimmer of trust.
It is much better for everyone not to rush this.
