Happy July 4th! Fireworks, sparkly and loud, are on the menu on this holiday. Make sure you keep your pooch safe when it comes to Independence Day. It can be fun for people, but a lot of dogs find the loud sounds very scary.
Dogs who are shy and meek are more likely to run and hide from the loud noises on Independence day than the dogs who are outgoing and loud themselves. I have worked with all types of personalities that manifest in dogs and puppies, and much like them, I will tweak my own personality depending on the dog or puppy I’m training.
Outgoing, independent, bossy dogs deserve my more demonstrative, louder, gregarious side, while the shy and introverted pups bring out my softer, quieter side when training or during their whole board-and-train. After all, dogs live with me for two or three weeks and learn a lot. I treat them as if they were going to be my pets. Well, they are my pets for the time they live here, so they get treated exactly like I treat my own personal dogs. This includes making sure they practice good pet manners.
If you have a pup that’s loud and screaming from the crate or a quiet and shier pooch, contact me to discuss the kind of training package you have in mind. I’d love to work with your puppy or dog during a board and train at Outsmarting Dogs. All my training is done using food and humane consequences.
