Listen to your trainer. Maybe wait on the teeter till next class. Trainer may be able to help you & him through it. Possibly his seeing other dogs using the teeter will help give him courage. Use treats that smell really yummy. Don't give up on him. He can do this. Help him through the fear. This is new to him & he's scared. Be patient. Once he gets it, he'll be sooo proud & so will you. : ) I'm no trainer, but have worked w/animals.
If you have skinkids & don't want to go to school, do they get to stay home? You make them go anyway. You make them eat, take baths, naps, bedtime, play nice. That's what good moms do. Without it, we have spoiled brats & delinquents. Being a good mom is not easy. You help them through the fear, encourage them, & you don't give up on them. Good luck! |
