Tips for a health and safe 4th of July…

Tonight’s the night that a lot can happen. While we celebrate our freedom on this Independence Day- please do so respectfully and responsibly. Never shoot off fireworks over someone else’s home/yard or over/near a farm and farm animals.

As for our 4 legged canine friends, here are some suggestions to help them with this evening’s festivities.

1) If you are heading out to enjoy the festivities, please kennel your pet while you are away. A kennel is not a punishment, it is a safe space where your pup can feel secure and decompress.
2) Play games. If your dog goes nuts for fetch, play ball in your fenced back yard during festivities. If you’re worried about them fleeing- put them on a long line so you have influence. 
3) Training time. While the festivities get underway, you can put your pup on leash and practice obedience drills. This will take their mind off the noise and help them learn to focus on you. Reward their focus on you!!
4) Keep them with you…if you have a fence jumper- keep them with you on leash this evening.
5) Kennel time: if you can’t keep them with you and you are busy, put them in the kennel where they feel safe and secure. We recommend putting in a high-value treat such as a good bone that they can enjoy while chillin in the kennel.

Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, happy 4th of July from all of us at ECK9!

**PUPDATE**
Remember Oreo? He was our service dog in training who went home to his new owner in Florida last year. I am proud to report. He is growing up to be a fine young man and doing his job very well! He assists his owner in everyday mobility…going to stores, doctors offices, and even helping her pick up eggs on the farm! We love you Oreo and are very proud of you!
