This is a short video of Alan training Ridge to sit, here, and kennel. He has set up the training table with a ramp to walk up. The table is not required but it does some good things. It introduces a new concept where the pup will feel uncomfortable but with positive reinforcement he will work through his fear and feel success. Just like in people, the more success he feels and the more new experiences he has he will gain confidence in his environment, as well as begin to trust you, as his handler. Eventually, you will be able to introduce new things that he will accept much easier because you have built that bond of trust. This will be much greater in those dogs who owners train them than in those who just have a pet with no training.
