Boltz – Conditioning to Airborne Items

You may have read the press release addressing Boltz’s anxiety about bees, flies, wasps, hornets, basically anything that flies around his head.  We certainly didn’t want to portray any negativity towards our fellow insects, they are an important part of the ecosystem, we just want to help Boltz through this negative conditioning.  In an attempt to desensitize him to the movement around his head, some of our “Pups at One Year” participants forwarded the idea of using “Peanut Butter Bubbles”.  These are made for dogs and available on Amazon, we certainly want to make Boltz’s life less stressful, so we tried it.  Not only does Boltz show an ear posture of interest (pricked forward), but he tasted one and seemed to like the taste.
