Doing Nothing Calmly!
"…At any given moment in time, we may just pause and do nothing… it’s just, ‘Can you learn how to be, calmly?’..." Suzanne Clothier
We all work hard to train our Cairn Terriers, but sometimes the best thing we can do is Nothing - as long as we do it Calmly. No commands. Just calming body postures and maybe calm words of no consequence (something like "How about that Tom Brady?"). This brief video is part of a training by Suzanne Clothier Thresholds, Thresholds, and Doing Nothing. She illustrates how passive positive training methods work very well when teaching a dog to feel safe in different situations. The single
most important thing any dog needs is to feel safe, and it is incumbent
on us to understand what that means from the dog’s perspective.

Counter Conditioning & Safety
"[Counter Conditioning] can, however, be an extremely slow and ineffective process if the dog doesn’t feel safe." Suzanne Clothier
Because the Cairn Terrier is genetically inclined to be aware of and react to any change in their environment or routine, we are all familiar with the need to desensitize our Cairns to certain things in our efforts to eliminate unwanted behavior. This takes a lot of consistent effort on our parts, especially when the dog is reacting to a fear of something. It is important to understand the need to make the dog feel safe and before we can help the dog work through his fears. This brief video is part of a lecture by Suzanne Clothier about Counter Conditioning and Safety. She illustrates how positive training methods work very well when a dog feels safe, but not otherwise. The single
most important thing a fearful dog needs is to feel safe, and it is incumbent
on us to understand what that means from the dog’s perspective.
