Training / behavior consults, puppy socialization classes, one - on - one training, exotic / small animal training, desensitization and
counter conditioning sessions
A better option for some (but not all) fears is a program of desensitization and
counter-
conditioning: Exposing the dog to the source of his fear from a distance that he can handle without going «over threshold», and moving closer each training
session while providing a high - value reward for staying calm (the
counter conditioning part.)
