Product Description
CD Description
Firework phobias are common in all breeds of dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Research indicates that the fear usually begins in puppies and kittens, but we don t know what the original stimulus was. It is very distressing when your dog or cat has a fear of fireworks, particularly because the animals often express their fear in destructive behaviour. There are two common mistakes you might make, which often make the situation even worse. The first is to punish or reprimand the animal for being destructive. In their mind, you are reprimanding them for being frightened, and you will make them even more terrified. The second mistake often made is to try to reassure the animal by stroking and cuddling them whilst making soothing noises. The animal doesn t understand what you re saying but understands that they are receiving some kind of soothing action. This is then seen as some kind of reward for being scared, and so the animal will think they are right to be scared. The more you reprimand or reassure, the more frightened the animal gets, and the more frightened the animal gets, the more you try to reprimand or reassure them. So, now you know you shouldn t reprimand your pet and you shouldn t reassure them, let s look at the right way to react. And the best way to react is ... not to react at all! Think about someone you know who has animals who aren t afraid of fireworks. What do they do during a fireworks display? Absolutely nothing. They carry on as normal, and so do the animals. This program is going to teach you how to do absolutely nothing too. You will learn how to behave like an owner who isn t bothered, and your pet will learn how to behave like an animal who isn t bothered. The vicious circle of fear and reprimand/reassurance is then broken for both of you.
