Think about... #8
"Well done is better than well said."
- Benjamin Franklin
Hello and welcome!
Are you „cool as a cucumber?“ Are you calm like a still lake in the dusk when the sun goes down? Well, this is an open invitation to be exactly that. When sounds are heard in reality, coming from various phenomena in our modern, loud, industrialized world, you will probably stay cool as a cucumber, because you know these sounds and are not dangerous when you hear them.
As you play the sounds in the UBlockFear noise phobia therapy, gradually playing them at louder and louder volume, you should be exactly as cool and calm as you would be in the real setting. There is nothing special happening. By that, your calm behaviour, or un-behaviour, gives your dog a clear message that all is well in your world. Don‘t worry, be happy!
Breed High Five: 5 Boxer Pictures
Page Suggestion: The Six Factors of Success
A successful completion of this program calls for five factors to come together. If one of these fails, then the therapy will likely fail to a greater or less extent. The Six Factors of Success page explains these five factors and how you can arm yourself to achieve the success that your dog deserves!
Page Suggestion: The Keep Everyone Happy page
When you enter the latter Steps in the therapy, the sounds will be played increasingly louder and louder. You should make clear to everyone who will be affected by this, why you are doing this, what it can mean if you don‘t do this (your dog may have to face the negative consequences of noise phobia), what your household members or neighbours may experience during this process, and that you ask them to bear with you these sounds while they are being played. This is just a temporary process. The Keep Everyone Happy page contains tips on how to approach the important task of getting everyone on board with you in this important endeavour for your dog.

Page Suggestion: 5 CDs pack members discount

Page Suggestion: The MP3 Instructions page
Do you own an audio device of some sort that plays MP3 files? How will you go about preparing and organizing the MP3 files so that there will be no confusion, and no mix up? Head over tothe MP3 Instructions page for short and easy advice on this!
Page Suggestion: The Audio Devices advice page
Finishing the threapy process successfully for your dog means that you need to play the sound at just about full volume and good clarity in the end, as much as that is possible. The audio devices and their loudspeakers need to be able to do that. Often times, a good portable audio device can do the job in all places, while you may want to use stationary stereo or home movie system if you have one, and the car stereo in the car.The Audio Devices page gives you a more comprehensive look at this issue.
