If fireworks started tonight… would your dog know how to stay calm? 🎆

July 4th is coming up, and loud noises are one of the biggest sources of fear and panic for dogs. Because dogs hear sounds much more intensely than we do, fireworks and storms can feel overwhelming very quickly.

One of the best things you can do is prepare before the noise starts:
✔️ Create a safe, comfortable den space
✔️ Keep windows and curtains closed
✔️ Use calm music or TV for background noise
✔️ Stay relaxed and confident yourself
✔️ Double-check ID tags and microchip information

Dogs don’t instinctively understand children, and children don’t instinctively understand dogs. Teaching kids clear, simple rules around dogs helps prevent fear, stress, and unsafe situations for everyone involved.

These rules aren’t about limiting fun! They’re about building respect, confidence, and safety in every interaction.

1️⃣ Never approach a strange dog, even if the owner is present. Always ask first, and wait for permission.

2️⃣ Leave dogs alone when they’re eating or sleeping. These are moments when dogs need space.

3️⃣ No teasing, pulling, or rough play. Never pull ears or tails, because dogs feel pain too.

4️⃣ Stay away from a dog that's tied up. They might be alone or unsupervised and you don't know if they're friendly.

5️⃣ If a dog barks or runs toward you: Stand still, cover your face and stay calm. If knocked down, curl into a ball, cover your face, and stay as still as possible.

Teaching kids how to behave around dogs is just as important as training the dog itself.
