Safe & Sound: Firework Readiness For Dogs

The After School Spot

3804 Kenilworth Blvd, Sebring, FL 33870

No upcoming date/times for this event.

An in-person workshop to help your dog stay calm, comfortable, and better prepared for the 4th of July and beyond.

Does your dog tremble, hide, bark, or panic during fireworks? You're not alone—and you’re not helpless.

Safe & Sound is a seasonal small-group workshop designed to help dogs (and their humans) prepare for firework season with confidence, compassion, and practical strategies. We won’t “fix” fear in a day, but we will equip you with the tools to manage noise sensitivity more effectively and reduce the chaos, stress, and helplessness many dog owners feel during loud events.

🐾 What You’ll Learn:

  • The difference between fear, phobia, and anxiety, and how they impact your dog
  • Why some dogs panic at fireworks, thunder, or sudden sounds (and what not to do)
  • How to create a safe retreat space your dog can trust
  • How to use desensitization and counterconditioning to change emotional responses
  • Games and reward-based exercises to build calmness and engagement
  • What to know about calming tools, medications, enrichment, and routines
  • How your behavior might unintentionally be a “cue” for fear—and how to fix it

🎯 Who It’s For:

  • Dogs with mild to moderate sound sensitivity (fireworks, thunder, gunshots, etc.)
  • Owners who want a clear plan to reduce fear and panic
  • Anyone who wants to support their dog in a positive, proactive way before the fireworks start
