Yes, they are wedding fireworks. I live in the Portside Towers and they go off during events on Fridays right outside my window.

Poor thing

Learn how to be a better dog owner? Dogs look to their leader for cues on how to react to just about everything and to be soothed and/or reassured in times of stress or perceived risk.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Would you tell a war vet with PTSD to just be a stronger person no one else is worried.

The original post/complaint is silly… but this post is some next level Cesar Milan wannabe stupid

LUXURY FIREWORKS

Gonna take my lumps too but I agree. We trained our pup in JC and whenever there were fireworks we gave him a ton of positive reinforcement. Fireworks don’t bother him now.

Wait… so you don’t think that dogs look to their owners / handlers for guidance on how to behave and how to react to stimuli? if so, that’s some next level stupidity on your part. But, then again, not at all surprising. The sheer amount of poorly trained and poorly behaved dogs in this city is pretty sad and disappointing.

What?!? Lmao. Are you equating your dog to a war vet with PTSD?

Not at all… but what about war vets who suffer PTSD. Do you not care about how they have to deal with these fireworks without notice.

Of course. But it’s not as simple as “be a better owner” and show them good cues. They need consistent positive reinforcement and training. And fireworks and thunder can be very tough with some dogs no matter how good the owner is.

The worst dog owners in this city are the ones that think they are so good at training they can let their dogs off leash wherever/whenever they wish.

Dude, you are really stretching here... But, I will play along: I don't think a loud, densely populated city such as JC is a great place for any war vet suffering from serious PTSD prone to panic or anxiety attacks that can be triggered by loud or unexpected noises. I have a TON of friends who are war vets and those who came back with PTSD have mostly flocked to middle America areas and/or small towns. It's the better setting for them for a number of reasons.

>They need consistent positive reinforcement and training.

To me that is part of being a good and responsible dog owner.

>And fireworks and thunder can be very tough with some dogs no matter how good the owner is.

True, but it is also true that a good owner should be prepared to deal with these situations. If you know your dog is prone to anxiety attacks or fear due to loud, unexpected noises, this city is probably not the right place for them. And, just like parents learn to prepare and anticipate potential situations with babies/kids, an owner whose dog is prone to panic or anxiety should be proactive when going out and bring along whatever they may need, such as a thunder shirt/wrap, ear muffs, etc.

>The worst dog owners in this city are the ones that think they are so good at training they can let their dogs off leash wherever/whenever they wish.

100% agreed.

I think my flippant comment got us off to a bad start, but it seems to be that we probably think somewhat (or, very much) alike on some of this stuff.
