Halloween can be a time of stress and anxiety for our canine companions, and it's our job as pet owners to make sure they feel safe and secure. Can we turn this holiday of spooks and scares into a positive experience for our dogs? This episode will give you the tools to do just that. We discuss the importance of creating a calming environment, from the tinkling doorbell to the eerie decorations, and give practical tips for a less stressful Halloween for your pup.
We'll also share effective strategies to gradually reduce your dog's fear of those hair-raising Halloween sounds using a technique of gradual volume increase. High-value food rewards are key to this process, and we'll tell you how to find that perfect balance of challenge and comfort for your canine friend. Not to forget, creating a positive space with soothing music and tasty treats.
