Education
Be patient and persistent with your dog when teaching him. Go at your dog's pace. A few minutes here and there in the day, while on walks or hanging out with your dog will be what is needed. When things are going well, end on that good note.
The Trust Technique is a wonderful way to help your dog and you gain a close connection. If you need further help, make sure to book a practitioner. They work via zoom if you are too far away.
Once you have gained that connection, you may want to teach your dog some more things and continue the connection. Recallers is a great on-line teaching program that will teach you how to teach your dog everything you need to know and any new dog coming in. DogsThat also holds Susan Garrett's podcasts which have a ton of information for you.
We do not condone aversive techniques to help your dog.
