Good Behavior Dog Training Preparedness Tips
Train your dog before an emergency:
✅ Comfortable crate confinement
✅ Calm vehicle travel
✅ Reliable leash walking
✅ Handling tolerance
✅ Confidence in unfamiliar environments
✅ Comfort around emergency personnel and equipment
Dogs that can be safely transported, confined, and handled during stressful situations often experience less anxiety during evacuations and disaster response. Guidance from FEMA, AVMA, and the Red Cross emphasizes evacuation planning and crate readiness as important preparedness measures.
