fear

1. - DINNER - We all feel full and sleepy after eating a meal, so make sure your dog is fed and relaxed to lie down before the fireworks begin. Also take your dog for a good walk before the fireworks start or do some obedience with them, this will stimulate their mind and remember stimulating their mind makes them mentally exhausted after at least 10 minutes, so this will also make them sleepy and want to rest.

If you have a dog that is a cautious canine, then you CAN help him/her.  Its all about confidence building and getting your dog to trust and respect you.  Once you get this, your dog will be more confident in any situation because they know you are looking after the situation, environment and anything going on at the time.  If you dont react badly, your dog should also follo

This scenario is given to me a LOT, my clients have a nervous dog or uncertain dog or puppy.  One of the first things I ask my clients is about the dogs heritage, breeding etc. did they meet the parents?  Do they know whether its in the breeding at all, let alone the actual breed they have as well.

Nearly all of my clients reward their dogs in the wrong way, without realising it.  The messages we give our dogs are quite different to what we think we are telling them.....People think they take on the same messages as humans..

CANINES ARE CANINES

HUMANS ARE HUMANS
