Confidence Training for Dogs - NEW/NOVEL surfaces

Confidence Training for Dogs - In this video I introduce Kona to the FitPaws Balance Disc. Kona is a very shy dog - especially around new/novel items and surfaces.

While I am working on building her confidence with the fitpaws balance disc, the idea would be the same no matter what you're working with (crate, outside, etc.)

1. Take tiny steps so that you can celebrate small wins - and DON'T WITHHOLD treats.
2. Give lots of breaks!
3. Work at THEIR pace and within THEIR threshold.
