We’re a day early for our training tip, but this one is important!

Fireworks Weekend Is Here! Don’t forget about your dog’s comfort and confidence.

Trainer Tip:
Loud noises like fireworks can be overwhelming for many dogs—especially during holiday weekends when booms can last for days. But you can help your pup feel more secure.

Here are some ways to support your dog this 4th of July (and beyond):

Safe Space: Set up a cozy area with blankets, white noise, and familiar toys. Let them retreat if they need to.

Background Noise: TV, music, or a sound machine can help drown out the fireworks.

Stay Calm: Your dog looks to you for reassurance. If you act like everything’s okay, they’re more likely to relax.

Training Tip: Once the holiday passes, start confidence-building! Play firework sounds quietly during meals or playtime, and gradually increase the volume over time. This helps them get used to it in a positive, low-pressure way.

Consider Calming Aids: Natural supplements, wraps like the Thundershirt, or vet-approved anxiety tools can help take the edge off. Licking can also be self-soothing, so make them a special treat to help keep their focus off the booms.

You’re not alone if your dog is struggling tonight. Support them through it—and then start laying the groundwork for next time. 💙

New Tricks Walking Club 17th walk!

This is not a direct training program, but can be beneficial for continued socialization, exercise, and fun!

You must be able to have full control of your dog to attend, as I will likely have one of my dogs with me as well, which can make assistance difficult. (Of course I would do my best to help anyone)

I will host this group walk monthly. After your dog has completed 4 of these Walking Club walks they will receive a certificate. First time attendees will receive a Walking Club sticker.

New! After attending 8 walks you and your pup will receive a certificate, and a special gift from Wiggle Waggle Barkery!

Only $5 per dog to attend, this would be due the day of.

July’s Walking Club information

Exact Meeting Location: Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Trail parking lot… This is near Blue Heron Lagoon (dog friendly water 😉)
