If you didn’t know, every year I take care of dozens of dogs on the 4th of July holiday.
Inevitably, a few of those dogs will come to me with extreme phobias around fireworks.
And if you haven’t seen my past posts, fireworks in these parts are a pretty big deal. My next door neighbor’s house has resembled a war zone in past years, and it’s not uncommon for me to have a 360 degree view of fireworks as they surround me when I’m at our facility.
But every year, the dogs are relaxed…
And we’re often able to reverse phobias and create neutral dogs around fireworks pretty darn quickly.
Because SO many people asked me for help leading up to the 4th of July holiday here in the states…
I decided to do a very informal live chat on the topic.
I’ll share with you how we:
(1) Manage dogs and create safe zones so even scared dogs aren’t stressed out
(2) Change how dogs feel about fireworks so they go from cowering, shaking and drooling to being able to be outside with us enjoying the holiday
I’ve taken several dogs with extreme phobias…
Dogs that previously have been heavily medicated on the holiday…
To being totally fine outside while fireworks are going off right next door.
If you want to hear the stories of how I did it, join us live Monday July 1st at 11am Pacific.
It’s free…
I’m not selling anything…
It will be informal - nothing fancy (although be prepared, I’m not known for brevity)
I just want to share this stuff with those that can benefit so these types of holidays don’t have to be so stressful anymore…
And it’s just too much info to cram into an Instagram or Facebook post.
And for those who asked, I’ll do my best to record it and post it for those of you unable to make it live, but no guarantees technology will cooperate with me (if it doesn’t, it will be user error but me and technology are often not friends).
