Fireworks are scary.

Dogs don’t “get used to it” by being exposed again and again.
In fact, repeated exposure without support can make fear worse.

What helps?
✅ Comfort
✅ Safe space for them to retreat to
✅ Supportive training
✅ Medical management when needed

We work with dogs who panic, bolt, or freeze—let’s talk. Also, comment "fireworks" and we'll send you a link to our blog post that provides great educational tips and support during this stressful time for your dog and you!

Puppyhood should come with a warning label. Can anyone else relate??? 😂 😂 😂

🦈 Razor teeth
💩 3am potty alarms
🧦 Exactly zero matching socks left
And don’t even get us started on the zoomies.

Puppies are adorable, but they’re also a full-time job. And it’s okay if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

We help tired puppy parents trade the chaos for clarity—with in-home training that works in the real world.

Dogs don’t sweat like we do. That means dehydration can sneak up fast.

Signs to watch for:
🚩 Dry gums
🚩 Lethargy
🚩 Sunken eyes

Water isn’t enough—think frozen broth cubes, wet food toppers, and shade breaks.

👟 Your walking route is planned like a tactical mission.
👀 You’re constantly scanning the horizon for joggers, squirrels, other dogs, bikes…
📉 Your social life has shifted to “we don’t go out much anymore.”
And even when you do everything “right,” the barking, lunging, or freezing still happens.

You’re not a bad dog guardian—and your dog isn’t broken.

Reactivity is often fear-based. It’s your dog saying, “I don’t feel safe right now.” And while that can feel overwhelming, it’s not hopeless.

We work with dogs experiencing reactivity and aggression—helping them feel safer, calmer, and more in control. And we support you with the tools, strategies, and real-world guidance you need to feel confident again.

✨ You don’t have to avoid every sidewalk or hold your breath on every walk.
✨ You can enjoy time outside with your dog.

Let’s help both of you breathe easier.

If you're struggling with your dog’s barking, lunging, or reactivity—or even more complex behavior like aggression—you’re not alone. And you’re not a bad dog guardian.

It’s hard to feel like you’re doing everything right and still dread every walk. Or to love your dog deeply but feel isolated, judged, or overwhelmed by their behavior.

Here’s the truth: behavior change isn’t a straight line. There are good days and hard days. There are small wins and big emotions. And it’s okay if the journey feels messy.

You’re not failing. You’re learning together.

We specialize in reactivity, fear-based behaviors, and aggression. And we meet you right where you are—with kindness, practical tools, and support that works in the real world.

Every year we get to this point, when it's potentially too hot to have our dogs outside. This year came a little later than usual and hopefully you enjoyed the lovely weather we had the past few weeks. But now it's here!

Heat risk depends on individual size, breed, and age. However, multiple sources agree that temperatures of 90°F or above can be dangerous for all dogs.

Here is some info to help keep your dogs safe:

☀Never leave your dog in a car! ☀
Temperatures inside can jump from 85°F to 104°F in just 10 MINUTES.

☀Watch the humidity!☀
Pets respond differently to heat than we do. Dogs primarily sweat through their paws, and pant to remove moisture from their lungs. If the humidity is too high, their internal temperature can skyrocket at a dangerous rate.

☀Limit exercise!☀
Adjust your exercise plan based on temperature. Stick to early mornings or late evenings if you are doing anything outside, or look to other ways to exercise your dogs such as puzzle toys and indoor games.

☀Provide plenty of shade and water!☀
Any time your pet is outside, make sure they have plenty of access to shade and cool water. Trees and tarps are ideal as they don't obstruct airflow, while dog houses can actually be quite dangerous.

☀Use cooling equipment!☀
There are a variety of cooling vests, mats, and wraps that can help keep your pup's temperature low. Soak these products in cool water to provide some relief. If your dog enjoys baths, you can also opt for a cool soak in a tub or kiddie pool.

☀Watch for signs of heatstroke!☀
If a dog's internal temperature reaches 104°F, they have entered heat exhaustion. In 15 minutes, heat exhaustion can turn into heat stroke.

Signs of heatstroke are heavy panting, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red/purple tongue, seizure, and unconsciousness.

Get peace of mind with our qualified, experienced dog behavior professionals.

LOMA Behavior and Training was started by Dr. Lorraine Martinez, a psychologist, who had a dog with aggressive behavior. When she learned there were no licensing, education or experience requirements to work as a dog behavior professional and many in the field misused or misunderstood the principles of psychology, she found found a way to merge her passion for behavior and her love of animals. Now, LOMA Behavior and Training gives you confidence about your training choice. We are different from most companies in San Antonio because ALL our trainers are required to pursue certification through the most reputable organizations: the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), the Karen Pryor Academy, the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), and Fear Free Pets. You can be assured that our trainers are held to the highest ethical and behavioral standards in the industry and adhere to our internal standards for professionalism.

Our trainers travel to your home in the San Antonio metro area giving you relief about how to keep your fearful dog from escaping, or prevent your dog that has been growling from biting someone, or make sure your puppy receives the best socialization foundation for a life long companion.
