How to Create a Safe Place for Your Dog

Play Video - Create a Safe Place For Your Dog

Is your dog fearful of loud noises or events, such as thunderstorms, fireworks, or even the vacuum cleaner? Is your dog fearful of certain people, like children or strangers? Creating a safe place where your dog can escape can help reduce your dog’s anxiety during stressful situations. It also helps establish clear boundaries—if the dog is in the safe space, the dog needs alone time and does not want to be pet or played with.

Becoming a Dog Trainer in 2021—Why Now?

I found myself unemployed in late 2009.”

After introducing your dog to eye drops to acclimate your dog to the approach of the eye-drop bottle, your dog now has positive associations with the bottle. However, the application of the actual drops can be aversive for many dogs (and humans), so how do you teach your dog to cooperate?
