I started to blow dry my hair and I would move the cord around so the extension cord made that noise he hates. ( I have an extension cord on my blow dryer bc its too short for me to sit down and blow dry my hair)
Pnut heard the noise and he perked up, I talked to him in a normal voice and said its ok, good boy. He just sat there. He wasn’t shaking or anything. The whole time I made the noise often and talked to him, he did really good. When I was done I left the cord out, but pushed it back where Pnut can walk by it without touching it, I left him out and he walked by ( not run). Then I gave him some treats!
I think I will do this first for a couple days, then maybe I will leave the crate open and blow dry my hair, then have him lay out side of his crate… I think this will be a good start!
Thoughts? Should I do it differently? |
Lol, all I know is if you are drying you hair with an extension cord, make sure it's a heavy duty one.
