Understand your dog. Create more safety.
Does your dog shake, pant, bark, hide, or become restless when fireworks go off, thunder rolls, or an unexpected noise breaks the silence?
Perhaps you find yourself becoming worried, too.
You listen for the next sound. You watch your dog closely. You try to reassure them because you want them to feel safe.
I understand.
My Ridgeback was extremely frightened of fireworks for years. I tried so many things to help her. But when I began understanding dog communication differently, I also began changing my own response.
And that made a difference.
In this course, I want to share that understanding with you.

What you'll learn
Through six focused lessons, we'll explore:
Why dogs can become frightened by sounds and how they may respond.
What your dog's reactions may be communicating.
Your own role when your dog becomes afraid.
How to create a calmer, safer environment at home.
What to consider when frightening sounds happen outdoors.
How to prepare for a calmer New Year's Eve.
We'll also look at why I don't automatically pet, talk to, or focus my attention on a frightened dog — and what I do instead.
