A hierarchy may not be what you would start with immediately especially if they are quite severe and if they have significant emotional involvement. Howeever, whenever they are ready to start facing one little fear at a time, I would begin. It is something that you can begin with quite early by having them name the difficult things and then sequence them from easiest to hardest. Then as they seem strong and curageous ask them if they are ready to start. Each pws is different, so it is truly something that you would want to discuss openly with them and gently encourage facing their fears. Hope that is helpful. Katie
