When Cesar was trying to get her to think about something else... do you remember what she wanted to get? She really like shrimp, I think? She said "I'm goin' to get some shrimp!" and Cesar kept repeating "shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp!" to get her to NOT think about being tense or nervous, lol.  I loved that. |
I missed that episode, sounds great, and that's exactly what he does with the dogs, he redirects their thinking, to the calm submissive state, and they can handle small doses of anxiety. For the lady, it sounds like the thought of shrimp could put her into a more relaxed or better frame of mind. I'm simply amazed at so many of these training shows have episodes of people who no longer can socialize with other people because dogs rule their lives. Instead of enhancing their lives, the dog has become their life.
