Royal's safe spot

Royal has his "safe spot" and it's this sleep sack that he started sitting near when he first arrived to us. I started using this sack in the first week Royal came to us, hoping to establish this as his safe spot.  It's worked!  Royal chews his bully stick on this sack and he gets fed on the sack.  When he's nervous or uncomfortable he will station himself on this sack.  Dogs that are nervous, worried or anxious it's a good idea to help them establish a consistent known safe spot.
 
 
 
Here's Royal during the first couple of days with us - eating on the sack.  He was pretty nervous with eating out of any bowl.  We started with a very easy slow down bowl since Royal is a gobbler of his food. 

Good boy Royal!
