Did you know that a dog's hearing is four times more sensitive than a human's?
With fireworks booming and bright lights flashing, it can be a scary time for our furry friends.
Here are some tips to keep them safe and calm this Fourth of July:
1. Leave Fido at home: Keep pets indoors with the TV or radio on to mask the noise.
2. Create a safe space: Introduce a cozy crate or bed for them to retreat to.
3. Proper identification: Ensure your pet has ID in case they escape from fear.
4. Stay with your pet: Your presence provides comfort and reassurance.
5. Consider a pet sitter: Hiring someone to stay with them can ease their anxiety.

Remember, comforting your dog during stress can reinforce their fear. Let's make this holiday enjoyable for everyone!

🐾 Understanding Separation Anxiety in Dogs 🐾

Has your furry friend been displaying signs of distress when you leave the house? Does he sit all day at the front door waiting for you to return? He might be experiencing separation anxiety. 🐶This can be as distressing for the dog owner as well as the dog. It's a common issue among dogs and can be challenging for both them and their owners. Here's what you need to know:

Recognizing the Signs:
Excessive barking, whining, or howling when you're not around
Destructive behavior, like chewing furniture or scratching doors
Pacing, panting, or drooling excessively
Inappropriate urination or defecation indoors

There are many different causes of separation anxiety, from behavior to seek attention to lack of education that it’s okay to be alone. Even when you’re home your dog may follow you everywhere!

The good news? You don’t have to be house bound forever. Your dog can learn that being away from you is okay. You can instill confidence in your dog and your leadership so he becomes more confident when left alone. With our unique Bark Busters dog behavior modification system, together we will develop an action plan to cure your dog’s separation anxiety.

Call us at 877.500.2275 today.

False!

This idea is based on the assumption that older dogs are less capable or willing to learn than younger dogs. However, dogs can learn at any age if they are healthy and motivated.

Older dogs may have some challenges, such as reduced vision, hearing, or mobility, but they can still benefit from training and mental stimulation. In fact, training can help keep older dogs active, happy, and mentally sharp.

Bark Busters trainers have been successfully training senior dogs for more than 30 years. For more information with any issues, call us at 877-500-2275.

When we say we can train any age, any issue, any breed, we mean it. Here is an unusual one for you that Bark Busters just trained – a Xoloitzcuintlis. This is a Mexican hairless dog that is the official dog of Mexico. Often referred to as a Xolo, the Aztecs believed this breed had mystical powers.

We always look forward to training all breeds!

March is Poison Prevention Month, a good time for all of us to check our yards and houses for items that may be lurking in our home or yards.

Dogs – especially young ones – are naturally curious creatures. But their inquisitive nature can sometimes lead to trouble: certain common items inside and outside of the home can be life-threatening if ingested.

Be particularly aware of certain foods, plants, chemicals and medications that may cause harm to your dog.

Bark Busters believes no dog is beyond help. In fact, our trainers are often called in when other training methods don't work for complex behavior issues like aggression, separation and sibling rivalry.
