Pretty much any question you can think of has been answered by that guy.

I think a natural reaction is to comfort and coddle a scared dog like we do with people but that is kind of the opposite of what you want to do. It's essentially praising the behavior you want to change.

Other than that...toys! Lots of stuffed animals. This is one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen...

She's terrified of stuffed animals. Afraid they are going to squeak, which is like a total no around her. Clicking is bad, but a squeak is terrifying. Also, she's smaller than nearly all the dog toys available on the market. As for playing with toys, no teeth, so that's a bit hard too.

I think I have the vague generalities right, but it's the details I need help with.
