Huge, huge well done to this gorgeous boy and his wonderful family 👏🥰
This lad hated the car 😔
He wouldn’t go near it, and if the boot or door opened, he’d take flight. His family have been working so hard on gentle desensitisation, using kind, gradual techniques to help him feel safe again.
And today…he was happily jumping in and out, and even hopped in while his human mum and I were chatting, entirely on his own accord 🙌☺️
We take our time with this work because confidence can’t be rushed.
Moving at the dog’s pace means:
• they stay under threshold✅
• they stay in control of their choices✅
• their emotions genuinely change, rather than being masked or suppressed✅
That’s how we build real confidence, the kind that lasts ✨
We’ve still work to do but I just know he’s gonna ace it! 🥰
I’m so proud of this boy and his amazing family for trusting the process and showing him the patience he deserves 👏💛🐾
