🎆Not long until we have those fireworks🎆 again... Have you done any work to prepare your new puppy/ sound sensitive or anxious dog? It's never too late to start!

Fireworks, construction work or just traffic.
Those little (or big ears) can be really disturbed by what we take for granted.
Now for the tricky part.
There's a few "mistakes" to point out when doing this, so here goes.
➡️Generally people that have tried this have done it at a volume when their dog is already startled or aware.
That really isn't the idea here.
Then they try and get their dog into a food item or play a game and of course their dog just won't budge.
Their dogs shouldn't even really know the sound is there.
Truly.
That's how you should be starting this.
Give the reward, long lasting chew or puzzle game before the very, very low level noise.
Not during and not after.
I know that seems counterintuitive but it helps enormously.

➡️Don't rush.
This can and often does take a long time because it needs to be done properly.
If you rush you will ruin all your hard work and no one wants that.

➡️Vary your devices/stereos/soundtracks and also where you do this.
This is key.
A very small portable speaker won't have the reverberation you may need later.

Golden rule.
Keep your hand on that remote in case they show signs of being uncomfortable, but remember that is usually always a step backwards and something to avoid. Especially when you are starting this.

This really is a "little and often" scenario.
