Are you trying to help your dog 🐶 be calm around triggering 🚨 sounds? Here’s how you can help!

We all know how hard it is when our pups won’t stop barking at EVERY passing car or EVERY knock on the door…
Help your dog become habituated to the many sounds in their daily lives by following these three steps:
1.) Find a triggering sound 🔉
(Simply observe your dog and note down what noises cause them to overreact)
2.) Gradually introduce during meal times 😋
(While your dog is eating, play a recording of the selected sound. If they stop eating or strongly react, lower the volume or stop altogether. If they keep eating, this is a great sign and you can start increasing the volume slowly!)
3.) Provide controlled, real-world exposure 🌎
(Help them experience the sound naturally, but don’t overdo it and make sure to have a way to stop as needed)
Some dogs, especially as they grow out of their sensitivity stage, might take a while to adapt, so more important than all, remember to be patient!
