Showing Fearful Behavior

[Pam]

If a dog doesn't take treats in public, there are two main reasons:
1) the treat isn't high value enough for the situation. Wheaty, floury biscuits may work well in the house, but you need something yummier for high-distraction environments.

That is true! I had forgotten that our instructor at obedience school said to bring something tasty like little pieces of hot dogs to class. Bella was not hesitant to eat them at all. LOL! At the vet's office or at the groomer, or even the drive-through at the bank, they offer dry floury biscuits.

I believe it could be related to anxiety as the normal place here that offers a treat is the vets office and he will not take them regardless of what kind they are. He loves bologna so I will cut up teeny tiny pieces of that and take them with me and have them offer that. I have never seen him turn down bologna. I guess I better take some wipes too so people can clean their hands afterwards LOL. I will definitely give this a try this weekend when we go out to the Harley dealer. Thanks for the advice.
