See if that works and take it in small baby steps.
2) We covered this in puppy class....you get them all excited and goofy with your high-pitched voice and silly sounds and start to name fruits and vegetables, then you start to calm them down by starting to speak very softly and say the same fruits/veggies - they do calm down after a minute or two because you are calm and talking softly - trust me this works - we had 8 puppies in our class and all were insane but once you start to talk softly to them they just naturally calm down.
3) Again my trainer is going to have a Good Citizen course and they have wheelchairs, etc., to get them used to it. Check with your PetsMart and see if they offer Good Citizen classes.
That's a start at least.  |
