If he's tired, he won't have enough energy to be scared. #2, if you know specific things he's scared of, like flicking fingers, or crackling water bottles (Thor hates these as well), you can practice habituating him to these things. Start small, and give him lots of treats for staying in the feared situation. Just like with people, teaching him to be more confident in specific situations will help his confidence generally, which will help him lead a happier and healthier life. |
P.s Thor hates when you flick your finger at him too?? haha. I thought that was a peanut thing
