The 4th of July is near, and that means dogs in the United States will soon hear sudden, loud, celebratory explosions in the sky.

Many dogs tremble, hide, or try to escape when they hear loud noises like fireworks. Though partly genetic, fear of fireworks is a behavior that also comes from a lack of positive exposure to loud sounds as a puppy.

Our friends at Zigzag Puppy Coach cover all the ways you can keep your dog safe and calm during fireworks, how you can help a puppy cope with loud noises, and more tips here: https://bit.ly/4jsBXWh
