Go! Skipper! Go!
Thank you for sharing Skipper (and you) story. We have a dog who scares easily in new situations or with new people, yet is a fun and lovable pup in known areas and with known people. Your post has given me some ideas for how we can normalize new things.

Glad you got some inspiration from my blog. It's never easy to train a dog who scares so easily, and it's always good to know that you're not the only one who has to deal with that. Of course your pup is a fun and loveable dog. So is Skipper. I'm sure not everyone will think that, lol. But we love him, we live with him and we make sure he is as happy as can be. But we also never give up teaching him, and supporting him in new adventures like this. It's maybe not a big step, but you have to learn how to walk before you can run, right?
Yes! We've begun to plan things around how she reacts to different scenarios. Sometimes things work out exactly as we hoped and other times its back to the drawing board. I count the things that work as wins and the things that didn't as a learning moment on our parts.
