Trigger stacking is a BAT (Behavior Adjustment Training) term that refers to times when multiple triggers combine to make the dog behave differently then in the presence of any of those triggers individually.
Isis' triggers are various. Including unknown Humans (&Anything that comes with them), unknown Dogs (Any kind), bicycles, skateboards, birds, Vehicles (Semis & Trucks are the worst), loud noises, rain and thunder storms. Along with many more things to be discovered.
Jinx's triggers are unknown humans, unknown dogs, vehicles and loud noises. Easy compared to Isis.
So in turn, being in a hotel room is not exactly the best place for her or Jinx to be. It's complete trigger stacking here. There are unknown Humans and dogs everywhere. But it will be at least another week before we can move into our house. Then a Detox and Relaxation Protocol for the new house.
On a lighter note, Jinx and Isis have turned 5 years old today.
