 Using Classical Conditioning for Systematic Desensitization

Bliss report...very related to barking and lunging, loose leash

I'll share a Bliss report I know that they entertain Suzy. <grin>

Part 1. This case illustrates the use of classical conditioning for desensitization.

This afternoon I accepted custody of a 2-y-o male dog described as a Pekingese mix for foster care. Owner reports that he likes children, is not barky.  A year ago, he had saved the dog from an uncertain fate when this Peke had been dropped off in the man's yard! The dog's estimated age then was one year.
