Someone else makes a really good point with, "Just wait until it's Halloween!" and that is so true. So many dogs get frightened when people put up their Halloween decorations .

Considering Halloween will be here before we know it, here's how you can help your scaredy cat or dog this Halloween season.

How To Help a Pet That's Afraid of Halloween Decorations

You can start by introducing your pet to the decorations from a safe distance. This means if you are walking your dog you should cross the street if you see a decorated house in the distance. Use a reassuring voice and praise your dog when you pass the house. Reward your pet with treats, praise, or playtime whenever they approach or calmly observe the decorations so you are using positive reinforcement.

Whatever you do, if your pet is really scared, don't force them to walk by or interact with the decorations, because this can make a fearful dog apprehensive or worse, aggressive. Try to stay as relaxed as possible because your dog can read your body language and if you are tense, they will be tense. This is even true with indoor decorations, and it's not worth scaring your dog just for the sake of having a pumpkin in your house. Or you can place your decorations in a room your dog is rarely in.

Some dogs, on the other hand, have no issue with Halloween decorations.

If your pet's fear is severe and doesn't improve with positive reenforcement and treats, consider consulting a pet trainer or a veterinarian who specializes in animal behavior or who may be able to suggest medication for your dog.
