Lux

Lux will always have a special place in my heart because I was the first “stranger” she felt comfy enough to take a treat from.

Tishawna explained that she’s nervous around new people, and if I keep to myself and don’t approach her, she’ll feel better. So, that’s what I did. During the whole shoot I kept my distance, had calm energy and didn’t make much eye contact with Lux.

As time went on, Lux started to relax more, but her parents felt it best that I still keep my distance.

It wasn’t until the very end of the session, when I sat on a bench to put my things away, that Lux started to take an interest in me. Tishawna offered me a treat to see if she’d take it. I put it on my hand and lowered it. Lux approach and, soooo gently, took the treat from my hand!! (I’m literally getting chills writing this because it was such a precious moment to me)

I know that I can’t expect all shy dogs to warm up, but man, it feels good when they do!!
