YIKES!!!!

So, today did not go so well.  We tried to do some desensitizing exercises with Dok and Pip, and Dok could not pay attention AT ALL.  He was breathing hard, ears pressed back and looking everywhere but toward me.  I switched with Mike to see if maybe he had more luck, and same problem.  Finally we decided that we would take him back into our room and work with him alone... I think he was still to wound up from the previous working, and we did not get very much accomplished.

We are going to try again tonight before bed, and I think that we will keep Dok off his leash with Pip on his leash at the other end of the hallway.  Also, I'm going to make sure that Jennifer is in her room with Hercules so that he is not whining.  Hopefully this will produce better results.  I probably will not be able to get video of it, as I can't hold the camera and work with Dok at the same time!  Hoping for some better results!  Tomorrow I will put Dok on his leash and just focus on him being relaxed while wearing it.  I'm not sure that I am a huge fan of the easy walk harness with him, but I can not use his Halti while he is wearing a muzzle (and for now, hopefully not forever, he will be wearing his muzzle while outdoors).
