We noticed that Fa Sung is very scared of the noise from cleaning the Aluminum/ Tin-foil in the kitchen. He barks, with emotions! Yes, we can tell, he was scared.
So, we try to encourage him by bringing him to the Tin-foil, let him smell it, touch it, and then in our presence, we touch the Tin-foil and make noise out of it. Wow, he can really barks!
Tonight, I had only 10 minutes with FS. After a bit of training on "jump" and "let go" after he catches his toy, I bring him into kitchen while he is still in a happy mood and try to make him face his phobia again.
He is better! Yes, he can now accepts a few sounds from the Tin-foil and only "wants" to bark when the noise is longer than 5 seconds. Oh, this is such a good sigh and I am so proud of him!
This whole dog-training thing really requires patience and attention from the dog owners... it makes me to appreicate more of what parents can scarifice for thier children. Not easy!
