Desensitizing Doggy

So, our most awesome dog trainer in the whole world recommended buying "Preparing Fido" to get our mutt ready for a baby. It's a CD of all these different baby noises: baby crying, baby giggling, baby spashing in the bath, baby screaming... So, we've been playing different tracks in small intervals to get her ready. Each time, she is startled, walks around looking at each of the speakers, and then eventually hides. So, I guess as far as reactions go that isn't too bad. You can tell in the video exactly the moment the crying starts (I was covering up the mic on the camera... sorry!).



And then, her final position. This is her new favorite place ever since P&T came to visit. T always sat in the chair there, and Elly would crawl underneath him. I think she misses him...
