#3. Counter Bad Experiences with Good Ones
If your dog has a bad experience, make sure you repeat a similar experience with a positive outcome as soon as possible. For example, if he growls at dogs of a certain breed due to an incident at the park, introduce him to several friendly dogs of that same breed. Or, if he’s afraid of people wearing hats, ask a handful of hat-wearing folks to give him treats. This way, you’ll help him overcome his fear or aversion quickly and safely.
