Working With A Trigger

It may not be obvious in this video that Sunny is still afraid of people including my husband. Sunny has not always been able to tolerate being as close as he gets to John. We have been using frisbee tossing to help Sunny develop positive associations with John. It is the only time Sunny appears happy being around him, though he keeps his distance. The goal is to have Sunny not only learn to tolerate John and other people but to look forward to and enjoy having them around. It may never happen or it may only happen with select people, but we keep hoping that John is one of them!

Thanks for stopping by Christine! How's your Sunny doing?

There are a lot of black and white dogs in this video, Sunny is the dog that mainly stays in the background and barks.
