Reply to comment by throwawaitnine in Any recs for a park or open space in the area that is not near a road for my car terrified dog to get some exercise and socialization? by mgafvert

Sitting on a stoop isn’t exercise. Those are two different activities. And exercising before training often can help the training exercises. I’m not sure why you seem to be against these folks exercising their dog in a quiet place WHILE they work on training.

Appreciate you! Yes, of course we are working on desensitizing, just wanted something new to see in the meantime.

I’ve had several shelter pets. You have no idea what happened before they found you or why they are afraid of the things they are. All you can do is love them and work to help them realize they are safe and loved and don’t need to freak out at random everyday things. My one dog was afraid of wine glasses. It took a bit but he got over it.
