@vasilishan Of course!

@pedrocosta I think we must all be good humans or we wouldn’t be on this sub doing the best we can for our doggos! 💕

@servercrash I hope it helps! At the very least, maybe therapeutic like it was for me! 😊😊

@refei Oh yes! Turning the back was a new thing we learned from a vet tech and it was magical!

@bigotsbeware Truth!

@christ197 Love it! Better for them in the long run!

@southernrunner This is such a good post and reminder that every dog and every family is different! This is just what works for us and for the people who want to interact with our dog. I’ll caveat it by saying that if someone doesn’t want to interact with Fletcher or I don’t want them to, none...

@jwyattharp It’s a great question! I wrote this out one day more of a way to get my thoughts together about the why we ask people to do it. I learned so much from our trainer about anxiety. I agree with Zealous though, that the steps really are pretty simple and work like a charm. But I did...

@jessiejackson Uggh sometimes people just suck. I like another poster that said “keep the dog, get rid of the husband”. I will say I’m lucky that my husband believed the trainer so we’re on the same page but still…. It shouldn’t be that hard to take some direction, right?? SMH

@voraces Not everyone to be sure. And I had one family member tell me that he didn’t want to come over anymore. I asked if he had another solution and he said, get rid of the dog. Couldn’t believe how much that hurt. I bit my tongue because I didn’t want to clean up the verbal assault i was...

@montexss Yes! This. They don’t forget either way. I bet getting knocked down by a CC is a little scary! I absolutely love them— they’re an incredible breed.

@richeal Totally get this.

@niclint 😞. I don’t get frustrated when they don’t know better. But i lose my shit when we explain it and they disregard and do it anyhow.

@niclint I found that the people who are willing to do it, we had success within minutes sometimes, hours. But always successful. The people who were unwilling, or skeptical, took longer or we had Fletcher in a different room. We had one friend over that thought he should stare Fletcher down...

@flyingsquirrel256 Awwwww thank you!!!!

@deepthink 😂

@hakatz Oh I’m so sorry to hear this. We had two dogs before Fletcher and they were runners. Everyone that lived in the house new if a door or gate was left open i was going to come unglued! And one of them was a fearful dog and although never bit a human, i absolutely couldn’t stand it if she...

@elvent You totally get the exercise here. Thank you for your rendition! I was laughing with recognition all the way through!! So glad for this group. And introduction to the word “yeet”!!

This is Fletcher. (Picture). This is Shannon, Fletcher's Trainer. (Picture) This is a Human Pez Dispenser (Picture) Fletcher has anxiety. We need your help. It will go against everything you’re feeling about being with a cute, soft dog. It will go against your belief that all animals love...
