It is an incredibly helpful tool for fearful dogs if they have a spot regardless of wherever they are they can feel safe and secure. I've witnessed my own nervous boy take himself to his mat to settle when he's starting to get overwhelmed and even not worry over nearby yelling toddlers while he's in his "place." Certainly has helped me feel more confident if I know he can relax when in unfamiliar environs.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519532266560570879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571280799838687527.post-53143073722754934372011-09-13T09:00:10.876-07:002011-09-13T09:00:10.876-07:00We love "Go to Place" (our is "Go ...We love "Go to Place" (our is "Go to your mat"). It is amazing for all dogs but, as I know you know well, it is exceptional for fearful dogs. Such an incredible and relatively easy way to teach them to calm themselves - both body and mind - in a safe enviornment. We esepcially love taking the mat on the road with us and watch fearful dogs be able to process new sites/sounds/people/etc with confidence because they have their trusty mat to keep them safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571280799838687527.post-45205850565954907822011-09-13T01:35:22.116-07:002011-09-13T01:35:22.116-07:00I'd snuggle with Spanky!
