Fireworks can turn even the calmest of dogs into bundles of nerves. While many guardians can keep their dogs indoors, what about those moments when you have to take them out for a toilet break? For some, that’s unavoidable, and that’s exactly what this week’s episode of Paws and Pawsitivity is all about.
I’m Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, certified dog trainer and behaviour consultant, and in this episode, we’re tackling the real-world side of firework season: those necessary walks when the bangs and flashes are unavoidable. We’ll talk about why fear changes your dog’s behaviour, why one spook can lead to a bolt, and how to make those outdoor moments as safe and calm as possible.
From harness checks and microchip updates to calm reassurance and practical safety measures, this episode is packed with tips that could quite literally save your dog’s life.
Firework season does not have to be chaos. With preparation, understanding, and kindness, you can help your dog feel safe, even when the world outside feels frightening.
🐾 Because our dogs rely on us to keep them secure, and with the right approach, we can help them weather even the loudest nights.
