Anxiety toolkit
Storms, fireworks and separation. What helps, in the order to try it.
01Storms and fireworks · 1 point›
路 Create a den: interior room, crate with cover, white noise or TV
路 Feed a frozen KONG or LickiMat DURING the noise (licking calms)
路 Snug wraps (ThunderShirt) help some dogs
路 Do comfort your dog - you cannot reinforce fear, that is a myth
路 Severe cases: vets have effective event medications (e.g., Sileo) - ask BEFORE July 4th and New Year's

路 A frozen food puzzle ONLY appears when you leave
路 Exercise before long absences
