Episode #2.44 - Fireworks & Walks: How to Keep Your Dog Safe When You Have to Go Out

Fireworks can be terrifying for our dogs, and while we can often keep them cosy indoors, sometimes a toilet break or short walk is unavoidable.

In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, I am Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, Certified Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant at Pawfect Training Academy. I share how to keep your dog safe, calm and secure when the fireworks start flying.

Learn why even the most reliable dogs can bolt in fear, why off-lead walks are never worth the risk during fireworks season, and what simple changes can make a big difference to your dog’s safety and confidence.

🐾 You will learn:

• Why fear changes your dog’s behaviour

• How to keep walks short, safe and predictable

• Essential harness and lead safety for anxious dogs

• Calming strategies to reduce stress before and after walks

• How to handle necessary toilet trips during fireworks
