Lexi is a skittish girl, and we help her overcome that by going lots of different places, ignoring her, and staying calm. She used to have fits of panic, but is starting to understand it doesn’t do any good and nothing bad happens to her. When she looks to her person for help and sees them relaxed, she can settle down, knowing she’s taken care of. Now that Lexi’s much more comfortable in public, we took a trip to AniMall. We walked in circles and practiced drill commands to relax, then headed in to visit and sniff new people. She did a great job!
