text: After adopting Carter in October we realized that despite our best most diligent efforts we would need some training ourselves on how to help him through some of his unexplainable fears nnCarters biggest challenges include passing buses trucks runners and cyclists he also tends to whineplayfully bark at nearby dogs nnWhen we first met Julene during our evaluation we were immediately struck by how well she knew dogs and how much time she spent trying to make sure she better understood our dog When we began Shy Dog class we were a bit nervous because Carter seemed so much more energetic read untamed than his fellow classmates but we quickly realized that his fears were similar his reactions just more vocal and obvious nnBy the end of the week course Carter and we as his owners had definitely made some great progress and we owe the training skills and routine to Zoom Room We definitely plan to return for an agility class in the near future
