KEEPING YOUR DOG SAFE THIS 4TH OF JULY
....or any day there may be fireworks....
* Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.
* Don't leave your pet in the car.
* Keep your pets at home in a sheltered, quiet, indoor area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened. Leave a TV or radio playing at normal volume to keep him company while you're attending picnics, parades and other celebrations.
* Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn't leave the yard may escape and become lost or entangled in their chain, risking injury or death.
* Make sure your pet is wearing an identification tag so if he does become lost, he can be returned promptly.

How Dogs Think and Learn
Dogs don't think like humans do. Dogs live in the now - what happens NOW..not what happened 10 minutes ago or what might happen 10 minutes from now. Dogs remember things that are repeated over and over again - which is how we teach our dogs to sit, stay, and come on command. Dogs have instincts
Instincts are something that dogs are born with. They tell the dog how to act and react. Some of them are chasing, biting, herding, guarding and self-preservation. Each dog reacts differently to the same situation. Sometimes a dog will want to figh - hold his ground and fight off what he sees as threatening or scary. Sometimes a dog will choose to "flee" - he will run away if at all possible. All about dogs, training and safety at Amazon
Play - Dogs and Children
When dogs play with each other, it looks very rough. There is lots of barking, chasing, wrestling and mouthing. This is how pups learn about each other.When children play with dogs, they have to be careful to remember that dogs do play rough, can become VERY excited, and can sometimes accidentally hurt the child while playing. Children do NOT have fur covering them for protection. One of the safest games to play with your dog is fetch. Throw a ball, stick, or favorite toy and the dog will run after it, pick it up and bring it back.
HOW SHOULD YOU PET A DOG
The best place to pet a dog safely is on his neck or shoulder. Always be gentle and move slowly. Fast movements can get a dog to chase you. If a dog pulls away from you, stop petting him. He might not be in the mood and petting a dog should always be nice for both of you.
When you see a dog on a leash, you must always ask the owner if you can pet their dog. If they say yes, offer your fist to the dog for him to smell. Then, if he doesn't act scared, you can pet the dog under his chin, on his neck, or shoulder. Even when you meet a dog again on the street, ALWAYS ask for permission first. You still need to approach the dog slowly and offer your fist for him to smell. Some days, dogs just don't want to be petted.
