Focus on what you can control.

As I was making this post in the Starbucks drive-thru, I pulled up to the pay window for my order. The worker smiled so nicely and told me, "The car in front of you paid for your order. So you're all set to go!" I have never had this happen to me, so it caught me off guard. I wish my brain had caught up to me so I could pass on the kindness. I drove away, and my day made a whole lot better.

My point is, don't hold on to what you can't control. Today, that would be financial burdens that have hit hard recently. Instead, focus on what you can control. Such as what I can do to relieve those burdens. Granted, maybe Starbucks wasn't the best option, but sometimes you need that pick me up, and God said, "I got you."

So that neighbor dog constantly barking and harassing you on your walks, those squirrels tempting your dog, the scoffs at your training tools, the keyboard warriors babbling away, etc. You can't control that. Let it go.

Focus on your mindset and how you handle them with your dog! Take a different route, reward for your dog's desired behavior, pull the blinds down, teach you dog to relax on place or in the crate, just keep on walking or scrolling, delete negativity from your life, etc.

If you aren't worried about it, neither will your dog. Power team! ✨️

We can often take life lessons from our dogs.

We should also steal their resolutions too. I don't know about you, but I sure plan to!

Stop and enjoy life. Live in the moment.

Do you have any resolutions you'd like to take from your dog?

Does your dog get jumpy when there are fireworks?
👉 Check out our list of preparing your dog for the New Year.

The main trick is to think ahead! 🧠

💊Consult your vet on medication and find natural remedies to help calm your dog. Some products can be found in your local pet store.

🐕Start your dog's bedtime routine early and do lots of extra exercise beforehand. Some fetch, long walks, and hikes, using puzzles for mental stimulation. Using their meal for the puzzles or training session helps to tire your dog out mentally.

💤Put your dog to bed in a safe space. A crate is highly recommended to safely contain them and give them a cozy space to sleep. Cover the crate and put on some white noise; the radio, a fan, and YouTube videos.

🔐Always ensure your dog is leashed or tethered when outside and with a collar and ID tag on them. Dogs often run away when fireworks scare them. The best way to make sure that doesn't happen is to secure them and ensure that there's a way they can come home if they do get out.

We recommend starting desensitization training as soon as possible to set your dog up for success.

⚠️ Training your dog for fireworks doesn't start on July 3rd. It starts July 5th, every day, until July 3rd - of next year. ⚠️

It's unfair to expect your dog to be okay with loud, booming noises. They have no clue what that is and they only hear it on special occasions. More than likely, loud bangs scare you, or startle you. At least they have at some point in your life. Why should we expect our dogs to be naturally okay with it?

Desensitized your dog to loud noises! Teach them, slowly, to ignore the sounds and rely on you. Neutrality and focus.

📌 Flooding
Placing the dog in the climax of the situation, without prior introduction.

📌 Desensitization
Slowly working the dog through situations, gradually increasing as time goes on.

"Training" your dog the day before celebrations, without any prior effort through the year. That is "flooding".

Instead, take your dog on walks when the garbage truck is out. Take your dog to Lowe's or Home Depot. Walk your dog near construction. Place train your dog. Focus on the handler and dog relationship, engaging with you. Sit outside and watch traffic. Walk around dog-friendly stores and plazas. Sit outside the dog park and watch the chaos. Crate train them throughout the day and during the night.

Take 10 minutes a day(at least) and just train. Over time it will show. Take the time to just be with your dog.

The art of doing nothing. ✨️

🌟 It's okay if your dog needs to be crated during fireworks shows. Your dog doesn't need to go everywhere with you(say it louder for in the back!).

Regardless, train your dog.

Otherwise, another solution -- get a deaf dog! They do great at fireworks(still have to train though). ✨️
