This lovely lady did an AWESOME job on her training outing today!
We are preparing to move at the end of May 2025, which means prepping Zeppelin for many of the things she may see in an apartment complex. This includes bicycles, strollers, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar locations, and so much more. Given that Zepp can be very fearful of new sights, sounds, and places, we have a lot of ground to cover before our move. We are starting small by taking her to quiet new places where she can observe things from a distance.
Today, we worked on counter-conditioning with passing stimuli in a church parking lot. We saw a bike (Zepp’s arch nemesis), passing people, and a big van. We also heard some loud noises. Zepp did super well and offered eye contact on her own each time something came up. She even offered to approach her nemesis while it was leaned against a wall!
