We had fireworks in our neighbourhood yesterday evening. It was a good reminder that NOW is the time to plan and prep if your dog is frightened by fireworks.

I am lucky. Our dog Wile E is not one bit bothered by fireworks or other loud noises. But my previous dog, sweetest boy Titeuf, was always terrified. He would hide under a bed and shake throughout. Luckily in France we don't really celebrate Halloween, and fireworks when I lived there anyway, were a short-lived thing. They would go off for a few hours on the 14th of July and new year's eve. That was it!
But he would also have panic attacks during thunderstorms, which happened sporadically every summer.
At the time, we thought there was nothing we could do to help him. It was horrendous for him, and so hard for us to watch him go through this.

Last year, Halloween fireworks started in our area the first week of October, and went on for another2 weeks after. They would start as early as 3pm on most days. That's a looooong time to spend in distress, fearfully waiting for the next bang.

Firework-fear in dogs has become "normal", but it shouldn't be. There ARE things you can do to help your dog. But it needs to start now.

Do not wait for the panic, be proactive. You CAN make it easier for your dog 🧡

My new best friend... Beaker! 🧡🐾


Beaker's people got him a campervan so he can go on holidays with them. Lucky Beaker!
Now we're teaching him to be comfortable when he has to spend a little bit of time alone in the Beaker Camper.

He's already pretty cool about being alone at home, but we're making sure we're taking it slow and managing absences carefully to prevent him from feeling worried until it's all a little bit more familiar and safe.

I really came to chat with her human about her little sister Maddy, but Maddy needs a little bit more time, and she's not ready to come check out the unfamiliar lady yet. Which is totally fine.
Coco was very happy to take her place for a quick photoshoot. This lady pays well for a sit 🧀😂

Rafi 🧡🐾

Puppy Rafi slept through my whooooole visit! It was all chats and she didn't need to be awake, she'll be glad to hear. Although she did miss out on my awesome bag of treats and toys...

She only arrived home yesterday and has already had a vet visit and a wash, so there was a LOT of recovering to be done. So we let her sleep. As much as she needs to.

Shout out to her proactive family who contacted me before they went to pick her up, so they had all the tips and were ready to make her first night as easy as possible. Which benefits everyone in the house. Good sleep is very important!

Catching up with Molly & Milo! 🧡🐾

It's been 2 years since I last worked with these 2 awesome pooches, and I was back for a visit to help them adjust to the recent arrival of a very adorable little human 🥰

Molly is asking if they can get to that stage where the little one drops food everywhere already. She must have heard rumours... 🤣

Puppy outing with Ollie! 🧡🐾

Lots and lots of sniffs were had, while things were going on in the background.
It might have looked very uneventful to us, but for little Ollie lots of learning was happening!
Gentle exposure while puppy is exploring is the way to go.
We also introduced engagement and sniffing ganes on our little walk.
Also shout out to Ollie's people, who did an awesome job following him around to keep that leash looooose 👌

Back with team Kacey!
We had a busy session together with a short car journey to work on settling down and relaxing in the car, and a walk in the park to work on passing dogs.
Kacey is progressing with each visit, and her people's skills and confidence are growing too! I might have to do a happy little dance 💃
