We made him sit down while all the time my hand is petting or pressing on his chest to calm him down, and then slowly let him approach or approach together with him.<br /><br />But Maple is so tiny, no wonder she is scared of everything keke, everything is Gigantic compare to the tiny her!eehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938590178335929657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050008464264363452.post-79769561579469710112011-05-06T22:12:56.410-05:002011-05-06T22:12:56.410-05:00I've always wondered what approach to take whe...I've always wondered what approach to take when Maple is scared or frightened. She gets very timid around big dogs, even big FRIENDLY dogs! Maple would always try and jump up on us as if to say, "Please carry me, please carry me up and get me out of here!" We try to be as calm and reassuring as we can to ease her anxiety. <br /><br />Haha... I guess after some coaxing, the thunderstorms were more of a curiosity to TOto than a threat. Glad to hear he's made such an improvement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050008464264363452.post-43991404722131521002011-05-06T14:06:12.654-05:002011-05-06T14:06:12.654-05:00@accordingtogus, Yah I wonder why the research sho...@accordingtogus, Yah I wonder why the research shows otherwise!eehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938590178335929657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050008464264363452.post-36227200893726742282011-05-06T07:25:37.893-05:002011-05-06T07:25:37.893-05:00Gus is also very scared of thunder - he immediatel...Gus is also very scared of thunder - he immediately wants to sit on my lap, or lay on my chest if he hears thunder. We try to be as soothing and calm as we can.<br /><br />I'm glad that rubbing TOto's chest has eased his anxiety!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
