Beginner’s Guide to Treating Dog Anxiety Using Counter-Conditioning and Desensitization
Episode description
You walk into an environment and you’re suddenly hit with an onslaught of information. Your eyes, ears, and nose are consuming information, but your brain isn’t able to filter anything out. It’s not able to discern what is critical in this situation to pay attention to and what is not, and you don’t understand what is happening to you. That is how your dog feels when he is triggered. And in this episode of the Dog Liaison Podcast, I dig deeper into treating your dog’s anxiety. I break down desensitization and counter-conditioning, and I talk about the difference between fear as an emotion and fear as a visceral response.
