Does your dog hate car rides? The trick is getting your dog used to car trips is baby steps.

Boy, do I ever love fireworks! Well, I guess I should say that I used to love fireworks (and thunderstorms, too), but they’re hard to enjoy when my baby is so stressed out.

I have a timid, nervous dog. For awhile I thought that everything “new” just freaked him out. I know now that I can prevent most of these fears just by understanding a little more about why.
