• The first person runs into the house in the attempts to rescue the person, showing no fear whatsoever
• The second person also runs in to the house attempting to rescue the person who’s trapped inside, but experiences fear while doing so
• The third person, feeling extreme fear doesn’t even attempt to go inside to rescue the trapped person

Then begin moving up to a larger dog and then repeat the process until you’ve worked up to being friendly with this big dog.
