You've already seen how we worked with dogs that would attack other dogs and people. This time we're taking on a different problem - aggression towards bicycles 🚴♂️🐕 Coco is afraid of bicycles and attacks cyclists trying to stop them or at least slow them down. The simulated situation with Piotr coming on a bike showed that cyclists are probably afraid of Coco too 🫣 So it's time to break this circle and convince the dog that he's not as bad as he seems, even if he's moving fast 😈 At first, even a lying bike made Coco anxious. However, we gave her a lot of support, helped her relieve tension by playing with a tug and strengthened her socially. The caregiver's action was very important here, who helped the dog feel safer by harmonizing and petting it, thanks to which Coco's tension decreased. All this to help the dog feel better in close contact with the bike and give him a sense of agency over what happens to him. The lower Coco's anxiety level was, the closer she was able to get to the bike. She also learned that she has alternative options, e.g. she can increase the distance from the stressful stimulus instead of lunging at it. 💁♀️ This is not the end of work with Coco's problem, but you have to admit that the progress is amazing ❤️ Also watch other videos from the series My Dog is Throwing 🐕 • My dog is throwing 3 ways to encourage your dog to play 🎾 • 3 ways to encourage your dog to play...
