My Dalmatian Quest had a fear of fireworks, but after using these tips to help, he was able to lay down and relax with a firework shooting a shower of sparks behind him, no longer scared of fireworks.
Every year, thousands of pet parents frantically search for a way to help their dog when the fireworks start going off for the 4th of July celebrations. But once the fireworks start, its too late to help. The secret to helping your dog get over a fear of fireworks is to work on your dog’s fear before the firecrackers start getting set off.
How to Help Dogs With a Fear of Fireworks
We have come up with an easy way to help dogs stop being scared of fireworks for good using positive dog training methods. No gimmick, no drugs, no punishment. We start by showing you how to introduce and use a marker word to speed up the process.
This class is $45 per peson, or free to anyone who books anh of our services (in home dog training, in home dog behavior help, our puppy classes) or is interested in setting up a VIP tour of our low volume dog daycare.
In this 30 minute class, you will learn how to stop your dog’s fear of fireworks via desensitization and counterconditioning. Its a simple process that only requires a few minutes of practice each day for a few weeks (depending on how much you practice and how intense your dog’s fear of fireworks is).
Instead of cranking up the radio (which only masks the sound and only partially helps), drugs, risking your dog running away or watching your dog in a constant state of misery, you can help your furry friend learn that while they may not like fireworks, they don’t have to be afraid of them.
TESTIMONIAL
“After 1 class with Dog Gone Problems with David Codr on Thunderstorms and Fireworks, Hope Heartie was able to sit and enjoy the sights, sounds and colors of last nights neighborhood blast off. This is HUGE! She, for the first time, didn’t shake herself into a stupor.” #victoryoverfear
No one wants to see their dog cower and unsuccessfully search for a place to hide for the weeks leading up to Independence Day. If your dog is scared of fireworks, this is a stresseful 1-2 weeks that can be eliminated for most dogs. With this technique, we can help most dogs get over their fear of fireworks for good.
Obviously, each dog is unique. While dogs like Hope Heartie (above testimonial) can get over thier fear of fireworks for good, in severe cases, this class may help bring that down by a little or a lot. The results are based on how scared of fireworks your dog is and how often and what quality your practice is.
Since this is a group class, only dogs who are comfortable with other dogs and people should attend. If your dog is fearful or reactive, we can help with that too, but we do that in in-home dog behavior sessions so we can focus on your dog and practice in an environment that isnt stressful.
We held our first class on Friday May 29th but are holding one additional 30 minute class on Sunday June 14th at 1:00 PM.
If your dog has a severe fear of fireworks, you should come to the first class so you have more time to work with your dog before the fireworks start going off.
Cost for this class is $45 per person.
FREE for anyone enrolling in a new puppy classes or booking a new in-home training / behavior session.
Since we only hold this class twice, space is limited and we expect both classes to sell out. If you are interested, sign up now.
