Is your dog ready for NYE? 💥

Many dogs struggle with fireworks season, but often, it’s not just about the loud noises 👀

If your dog finds it hard to relax day-to-day, then fireworks, parties, and other intense situations only add fuel to the fire 🔥

So what if I said that focusing on developing general calm behaviour could have a positive impact on your dog’s ability to cope with fireworks?

By training your dog to be able to settle on a mat and watch the world go by, they are able to learn how to switch off to distractions going on around them.

👉🏻 This is because they are no longer free to take in all the sights, smells, and sounds at 100mph… and instead process everything in a more relaxed fashion. When they are not trying to take in everything, it all becomes background noise - irrelevant to them.

When it comes to fireworks, having a dog that has learnt to settle on a mat and switch off can therefore help fireworks become part of the background noise too… instead of something they focus on.

Want to help your dog stay calm for NYE fireworks and beyond?

🎆 Have you tried playing firework sounds, but your dog is still struggling?

Noise desensitisation can be a great tool, but it’s rarely a complete solution when used alone..

Dogs can often tolerate recordings, yet when real fireworks go off, with all the added sights, smells, and intensity, it’s a whole different experience.

Fear of fireworks can go beyond noise sensitivity, so noise desensitisation is just one piece of the puzzle 🧩

Another piece may be introducing calming exercises to help your dog decompress, or finding the right supplements to aid relaxation 😌

Each dog is different and that is why I believe in a multidirectional approach, addressing various aspects of your dog’s experience to help them truly cope. This may mean implementing techniques to help their nervous system relax and exercising them in a way that induces calmness.

In my Before the Bang Masterclass, I share the methods that go beyond playing firework noises to help make the end of 2024 less overwhelming for you and your dog. Watch it through the link in my bio, or DM me ‘NYE’ to get started

For many dogs, the stress of fireworks doesn’t end once the noise stops.

Even days later, the lingering effects of stress can make them more sensitive to sounds or cause changes in behaviour

Its like the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’ .. a build-up of stress that can diminish their ability to cope.

In the days after fireworks, giving your dog extra support can be a game changer. From quiet walks and sniffing sessions to plenty of nap time, small adjustments can help them decompress and feel safe again 🥰

Take things slow and give them the chance to truly relax

Firework night can look like this for your dog too..

When Halli first arrived around firework season, she seemed completely unfazed. But after moving in with a dog who was extremely anxious about fireworks, her own calm response changed, and she started to worry.

This sensitivity even extended to other loud noises like gunshots, where she started to spook and refuse to walk 😳

But that made it clear to me that her fear was growing and I needed to better support her.

With time, patience, and consistency, she can now cope (most of the time).. even relaxing through the explosive bangs 🚀

So I’ve decided to share the steps that helped Halli reach this point of calm and what I continue to do to support her during this challenging time of the year, both on walks and at home.

The Before the Bang masterclass will help you prepare your dog for this years fireworks 🎆

You can watch it by following the link in my bio or by DMing ‘MASTERCLASS’ ✨

🤞Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best when fireworks start exploding? 🎆

While it’s a common approach, firework anxiety doesn’t just go away on its own. In fact, it can build up, affecting your dog in other ways and making each year more challenging 😩

Many dog owners try playing firework sounds at home, but it rarely gets to the root of the issue. Instead, a multidirectional approach is what’s needed to truly help your dog feel safe and calm.

In my Before the Bang masterclass, we’ll dive into practical techniques to prepare your dog and reduce their stress. Let’s go beyond just hoping for the best, DM ‘BANG’ and let’s start to create a plan that works for your dog 🐾

I opened the door, and this dog went straight to their bed and settled without a single word from me.. 👆 THIS is the goal of training, to create automatic, calm behaviours that your dog offers naturally in everyday life. It’s not about constant commands or micromanaging your dog. It’s about teaching them in a way that they choose the right behaviour because it’s valuable to them. Imagine no more shouting or scrambling to stop your dog from doing things they “know they shouldn’t” (a topic for another day 👀). Instead, you can focus on your day, knowing your dog has learned to settle themselves without being told. This is exactly what my Black Friday offer is designed to achieve: automatic calmness in any situation 😌 Here’s what a peak at what will be covered ⬇️ 🏠 At home - calm behaviour around food, guests, and other tempting distractions. 🌳 Outdoors - settling when you stop to enjoy the view (or a snack) 🎄 Festive outings - relaxing at the pub or holiday gatherings. The best part? You’ll stop “telling” your dog what to do and start enjoying a calm, connected partnership where they offer these behaviours naturally 🙌 This offer hasn’t officially launched yet, but spots are already filling up! Early sign-ups will even get bonus lessons to start making progress right away ✨ Ready to make calm your dog’s default? ‘Cause the opportunity is there… . #dogtrainingtips #puppytraining #calmdog
