Fireworks can cause great anxiety in dogs.🐕 Many even run away on the 4th of July.🇺🇸 ⁣ Here are some helpful tips I found online:⁣ ⁣ • Ensure that the information on your pet’s collar is current and make sure your dog is microchipped and has a GPS device.⁣ • Head out for your long walk before the sun sets to avoid the sounds. Make sure your dog is secure on a leash before your walk.⁣ • During fireworks, keep your dog inside, away from windows.⁣ • Leave a fan, TV, or sound machine on to help mask the sounds of the fireworks. ⁣ • If you can, stay home with your dog or leave them in the hands of a trusted person. ⁣ • Talk to your pup in calm, soothing tones and pet them with long slow firm strokes.⁣ ⁣ #NomiWagnerPortraitArtist⁣ #PaintingsFromPhotos⁣ #CustomPortraitPaintings⁣ #DogPainting ⁣ #PetPortrait ⁣

👻✨ Trick-or-Treating Tips for a Safe Halloween Night! ✨👻 Halloween should be full of treats—not tricks—when it comes to safety. Here’s how to keep little ones (and homes) protected: Light the Way: Make sure walkways and porches are well-lit to prevent trips and falls. Clear Hazards: Move any obstacles or decorations that could be a tripping hazard for trick-or-treaters. Safe Costumes: Opt for flame-resistant, well-fitting costumes with reflective elements so kids can be easily seen. Fire Pits: Keep the open flame guarded, gated, and away from the little costumes walking past! Inspect Treats: Only allow kids to eat pre-packaged candy, and check everything before digging in. From all of us, have a safe and spooktacular Halloween! 🎃 . . . #HalloweenSafety #TrickOrTreating #FamilySafety #lcfmins #lincolncountyfarmersmutual #momutual #smallandstrong #propertyinsurance #homeowner #homeinsurance #farminsurance #propertyandcasualty #logipops

🎃👻 Happy Halloween, Sheboygan! 👻🎃 As Pedestrian Safety Month wraps up today, let’s prioritize safety while enjoying the festivities! 🕒 Trick-or-Treating Hours: 4 PM - 7 PM 🕒 👣 Pedestrian Safety Tips: Stay Visible: Use reflective costumes or carry flashlights! 🔦 Stick to the Sidewalk: Walk on sidewalks and cross at crosswalks! 🚶♂️ Look Both Ways: Always check for traffic before crossing streets! 🚦 🚗 Enhanced Driver Safety Tips: Slow Down: Reduce your speed in neighborhoods, particularly during trick-or-treating hours! This will give you extra time to react if kids suddenly cross the road. 🐢 Be Extra Alert: Keep your eyes peeled for children who might dart out from between parked cars or unexpectedly enter the roadway! 👀 Limit Distractions: Stay focused and avoid using your phone or engaging in other distractions while driving. Your full attention is crucial! 📵 Watch for Costumes: Costumes can be harder to see, so stay vigilant and ready to stop. 🚧 Important Reminder: Please keep an eye out for sidewalks and roadways under construction. 🚧 Several utility projects are ongoing, so even if you see sidewalk construction, other utility services are happening concurrently. Let’s make this Halloween a fun and safe experience for everyone! 🎉👻🍬 ℹ️https://lnkd.in/g5jf5GBM #HalloweenSafety #PedestrianSafetyMonth #TrickOrTreat

Fireworks can be exciting for humans, but imagine them from your dog's perspective! Many dogs find the sudden loud noises and bright flashes terrifying or even traumatizing. Below are some tips to keep your dog safe on fireworks nights! https://lnkd.in/gr4-kaUW #barkbusters

❗❗ DESENSITISING YOUR DOG TO FIREWORKS ❗❗ What is sound desensitisation for your pets? Desensitisation (DS) for dogs, cats and rabbits is the gradual reduction in reaction to a source of anxiety over time, and counterconditioning (CC) is the changing of an emotional reaction to a source of anxiety, from a negative/anxious response to a positive response. With fireworks, the process involves exposing your pet to audio recordings of fireworks over a few months, very quietly at first and gradually increasing the volume. To get the best results, we recommended that you start at least six months before fireworks season but the sooner you start the sooner you start helping your pet.

Home Safety And Security: If you don’t have a lion roving around your property like a guard dog it would be best during these times to call a security consultant first to help you figure out what you need that would be just as effective!! Hawkins Security Consultants Group
