The Barkin Brit

From our Kiwi friends at The Complete Canine

Fireworks can cause your puppy to become very anxious. You may see the following behaviors or outcomes:

- Reluctance to p**p or p*e outdoors
- Indoor accidents
- Whining/barking
- Cowering/shaking
- Sudden onset of loose p**ps
- Reluctance to eat meals.

The biggest single thing you can do to help a puppy who is showing one or more of these behaviors is simply hold/pet/soothe it.

Try to project your calmness through your fingertips and use your calm demeanor to convince your dog that you are not at all spooked by the loud noise's.

Let your dog know that you are there, and that you are providing it with security.

Close windows if fireworks get too loud, move your fur baby to the quietest room in the home.

Most of all, don't become agitated by any poor behavior from your puppy on the 4th.

If you have questions, please feel free to call me.
