**SHARE THIS POST** Protecting our canine companions is a top priority, and during the hot summer months, one often-overlooked area is their paws. When temperatures rise, asphalt and other paved surfaces can become incredibly hot, reaching temperatures high enough to cause serious burns to a dog's paw pads.

Think of it this way: if you wouldn't walk barefoot on the asphalt, your dog shouldn't either. Paw pads, while resilient, are not immune to extreme heat. Burns can lead to painful blisters, infections, and a long road to recovery.

81 years ago today. The backdrop is war-torn Carentan shortly after its liberation. Here, two U.S. 1st Army medics take a moment from treating soldiers to provide aid to an injured French dog.

The Battle of Carentan, fought in mid-June, had been a critical engagement to link the American beachheads at Utah and Omaha, and its aftermath left the town in ruins. While the fighting for Carentan itself concluded by June 14th, the area remained a theater of war, with ongoing patrols and consolidation efforts by Allied forces.

This image is as a reminder that amidst the chaos of conflict, acts of kindness, whether towards a fellow soldier or a forgotten animal, offered small but significant moments of grace.

The Fourth of July is all about celebration, but for many of our furry friends, it's a terrifying ordeal. The loud booms and flashes of fireworks often send dogs into a panic, leading to more lost pets on this day than any other! A scared dog can run for miles, completely disoriented and unable to find their way home. Please share this advice with your friends and family!

Understanding the Danger: How Dogs Escape
You might think your home is secure, but a truly panicked dog can become an escape artist. Traditional barriers often aren't enough:

--Fences: Dogs can jump over or dig right under them.

--Electric Fences: They'll often bolt straight through, ignoring the shock in their desperation.

--Doors: Clawed, chewed, and even shattered – desperate dogs can cause serious damage to get out.

--Windows: They might jump right through, risking severe injury from broken glass.

Kennels:

--Wire kennels: Doors can be forced open, or wires bent to create an escape gap.

--Plastic kennels: Edges can be gnawed through.

What You Can Do: Protecting Your Pet
We can help our dogs cope! Here are some strategies for both immediate relief and long-term solutions:

Immediate Relief (Symptom Management):
Talk to your vet: Ask about anti-anxiety medication to help calm them.

--Mask noises: Use fans for white noise, turn up the radio or TV to muffle firework sounds.

--Cover windows: Close blinds or curtains to reduce flashes.

--Stay home with them: If possible, don't leave your dog alone. If you must, arrange for them to stay with trusted friends or family, ensuring they're supervised and on-leash.

--Consider calming aids: Explore calming scents or CBD oil. For 3D Dog recommended products, visit https://pawtree.com/ThreeDDog/product/Chillax-GM2456?itemCode=2456&queryID=a193dbf5f44b18fee1c17e9b89466606&itemCode=Chillax-GM2456

--Invest in a secure kennel: A heavy-duty, escape-proof crate can save you from heartbreak and costly vet bills.

--Stay calm: Avoid yelling if your dog acts out from fear. Instead, calmly leash them and provide reassuring structure.

Long-Term Solutions (Addressing the Cause):
For dogs with significant noise anxiety, professional help can make a huge difference:

--Impulse Control: Behaviorists can help address underlying issues like hyper-vigilance or separation anxiety, which contribute to fear responses.

--Cognitive Integration: Work with a certified behaviorist to help your dog's brain function more harmoniously under stress, improving self-regulation.

--Exposure Therapy: A skilled behaviorist can guide you through a safe acclimation strategy to loud noises. Do NOT try this on your own.

Don't let firework phobia ruin your dog's holiday this year! We're here to help you and your furry family member.

We're excited to welcome our newest client from Niceville, Florida, and their sweet dog, Spencer, to the pack!

Spencer is an aggression case, and his family sought our help after he bit a child. It's tough when a beloved pet struggles with behaviors like this, but we're already seeing amazing progress with our effective online video training program!

This case highlights just how impactful our remote training can be. So far, we have clients in 15 states and 2 countries. No matter where you are, from Niceville to New York, our programs are designed to help you and your dog thrive.

If you have family or friends in other states or even just across town who need support with their dog's behavior, let them know we can help!

Distance is no longer a barrier to getting the best training for your beloved family member!

What a fantastic time we had yesterday at the US Postal Service, sharing vital information about dog safety for mail carriers for their National Dog Bite Awareness Month!

It was truly rewarding to connect with employees and clients to foster a safer environment for everyone in our community.

A huge thank you to our friends and fellow dog trainers at Infinity Dog Training. We were thrilled to finally meet Pam and LaDale in person! Their expertise and passion for dog training was obvious (and LaDale promised us that this was, in fact, him smiling!)

With the USPS, we covered essential topics, from understanding canine body language to practical tips for preventing dog bites. The engagement from everyone present was wonderful, and it's clear that the safety of our mail carriers was a huge priority.

Stay tuned for more initiatives as we continue our mission to promote responsible pet ownership and create safer communities!

What an incredible day! We had the absolute pleasure of meeting and beginning training with a magnificent French Boucheron. This intelligent breed, historically known for its herding prowess in France, is now embarking on a new journey with me as a future service dog for POTS. So excited about the path ahead and all we'll accomplish together! 🐾

Does your dog become distressed or overly excited when you swim in your pool? If so, this is likely the reason why. Dogs frequently perceive excited splashing as a distress signal and will tend to behave as you see here -- running back and forth, barking, and attempting to engage (or save) those in the water.
