Take Positive Steps to Ensure a Stress free 4th of July Holiday for Families with Fearful Pets

Help sound fearful pets be relaxed on the 4th of July by training now to overcome mild to extreme reactions to sudden loud sounds. Scared pets can injure themselves or run away and get lost. Modifying their behavior gently over time is a positive technique that works. Tips for the 4th of July are provided too.

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) June 10, 2009

Act now to help the fearful pet dog, cat, or other animal be calm during the loud fireworks on the 4th of July. Visit http://angeldoginc. com/Products. html (http://angeldoginc. com/Products. html).

Sound socialization specialist, O'Neal Hendrix, master trainer and president of Angel Dog Inc. , offers suggestions to help calm pets that are anxious about loud sounds. A puppy can be trained to be calm to unexpected loud distractions. Also, a fearful pet can be counter-conditioned to reduce or eliminate anxiety and unpredictable behaviors that often cause injury to pets and damage or destruction to property.

Begin now in the home with exposure to sounds by playing fireworks sounds at low volumes during pleasurable times such as meals, sharing affection or petting. The key is to play the sounds at a low volume as to not disturb the pet. Gradually increase the volume over time while watching behavior. The volume is too loud if it causes the pet to react.

Volume sufficient to cause reaction by the pet will reverse progress. Move at their pace in training and the result will be a calmer, happier and safer pet.

During the fireworks there are steps to take.

Be present and calm with your pet when the sounds occur. Animals often take their cue from their people. Yawn, relax and be the fabulous leader you are to your dog. Leashing or crating is a good idea at these times.

Some pets handle noises by hiding. Provide a safe, quiet, dark space such as your closet. Clear a space out in the very back and put their bed there. Do not shut the door. Covering a pet's crate with a dark towel or blanket is good but be mindful not to overheat the enclosure. Outdoor pets may prefer a cool quiet basement or quiet dark garage. Providing cool, fresh water is important. Turning on a radio or TV for background music/sound is a helpful distraction making sure the broadcast is not the fireworks display.

Bach's Rescue Remedy is a wonderful naturally calming product available at most health food stores. Small dogs get one drop and a golden could be given 6 drops. Put drops in the palm of your hand, rub hands gently and then rub dogs chin, neck, and shoulders. They inhale the scent and it calms them down. This popular product can be used by people as well to calm and sooth the senses. It takes about 20 minutes to take effect.

Teach others to be loving and respectful of pets. If pets are disturbed by the sounds and your family enjoys setting off fireworks make arrangements to do this activity at another location instead of at home.

Brooklyn, New York Real Estate Broker With a Personal Touch – Jeff Grandis Advises When is the Right Time to Sell the Family Home or Investment Property

When people consider selling their home, the decision relies less on the real estate market and much more on the cycle of one’s life

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) April 11, 2006

In most cases when people consider selling their home, the decision relies less on the cycle of value in the real estate market and much more on the cycle of one’s life that they are approaching or are already in. If an individual is lucky and healthy enough to reach the stage in life where it’s best to simplify their life by not being tied down to the responsibility of owning a house, that decision is usually the most prudent one for most older folks. Some seniors delay and delay this decision beyond the time when it’s really appropriate for them to sell. Some seniors have the good fortune to have caring and involved family members to help them arrive at this most important decision at the right time so that the transition can be a smoother one.

Just last week Jeff Grandis concluded a transaction with Mrs. Eileen Sokoloski, a 50 year resident and owner of a store plus 2 family building investment property located in the Homecrest neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Mrs. Sokoloski was delighted with the results. “I am very pleased with the sale price of my property and everything that Jeff did.” Sokoloski went on to say “Jeff’s attitude was comforting and positive and he was always reliable because he did whatever he said he would do.”

Jeff Grandis, Associate Broker, affiliated with Fillmore Real Estate for over 18 years, has been called upon countless times in his career as a consultant on such matters. Jeff listens to his clients very carefully and helps them to decide if and when the right time has come for them to consider selling their house or investment property.

In addition to considering his clients' needs, Jeff Grandis also has followed the real estate market in Brooklyn for nearly 2 decades.

“The real estate market is a cycle,” says Grandis. “The market goes up and sometimes an uptrend can last for years. Such is the case in Brooklyn for the past 4-5 years. However, uptrends can only sustain themselves so long. Eventually the winds of economic change prevail, in the form of either rising fuel prices and interest rates or an unforetold event or disaster such as the September 11th terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and prices do gradually come down again.” This is the case right now in the Brooklyn New York Real Estate Market according to Grandis. In the last six months we have seen a decline in the prices of homes and investment properties between 5% to 10%.”

When the real estate market is on a downtrend, Jeff Grandis can also help his clients make the best decision economically. Jeff Grandis, the full-service real estate broker with a personal touch.

Lichen Rock Luxury Bath Products Adds Revealing Hour Sea Salt & Sugar Body Polish to Their Organic Aromatherapy Product Line

Lichen Rock Luxury Bath Products introduces an all natural, handcrafted Body Polish to promote healthy skin renewal.

Warren, VT (PRWEB) April 4, 2008

Lichen Rock Luxury Bath Products presents, Revealing Hour Sea Salt & Sugar Body Polish. This beautiful product is handcrafted with pure Dead Sea Salts, cane sugar and organic raw Shea Nut Butter. The sea salts and sugar exfoliate, removing dead skin and improving circulation, while the organic Shea butter leaves a soft, moisturizing finish. Revealing Hour contains a Geranium and Rosemary aromatherapy formula to promote healthy skin cell renewal.

"The low humidity of our New England winters can cause dry, irritated skin" said Lichen Rock owner/product designer, Tory Gadd, "and using Revealing Hour Sea Salt & Sugar Body Polish is an excellent way to shake off winter, and to nourish and rejuvenate your skin. Like spring cleaning, you are preparing your body for the season ahead."

"Skin regenerates on a monthly cycle. It sheds the dead, flattened cells that lie on its surface to make room for new, living cells to rise. If the dead cells don't shed as quickly as they should, thick, dry skin can form," says D'Anne M. Kleinsmith, a dermatologist in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Lichen Rock's REVEALING HOUR SEA SALT & SUGAR BODY POLISH, refreshes, smoothes and softens the surface skin layer. It is delightful to use on a regular basis, during all seasons, in the bath or shower. Revealing Hour is a great addition to complement the existing Lichen Rock line of luxury bath products and your own daily routine of personal care.

Red Phoenix International Donates to the March of Dimes “March for Babies”

Red Phoenix International, Inc., a marketing firm that specializes in outsourced sales for service-based, Fortune 500 companies, recently participated in the March of Dimes “March for Babies” in New Jersey, raising more than $250 for the organization.

Wayne, NJ (Vocus) July 8, 2009 –-

Red Phoenix International, Inc. (http://www. redphoenixintl. com), a marketing firm that specializes in outsourced sales for service-based, Fortune 500 companies, recently participated in the March of Dimes “March for Babies” in New Jersey, raising more than $250 for the organization.

Nine staff members from Red Phoenix International, owned by President Michael Mounter, walked four miles during the event. Prior to the walk itself, they sold chocolate bars and raised money from their family and friends.

The money raised by Red Phoenix International will help support community programs that assist mothers in having healthy, full-term pregnancies. It also funds research to find answers to serious problems that threaten babies. Since 1970, the organization has raised $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.

Red Phoenix International chose the March of Dimes because team leader and staff member, Lauren McKenna (http://www. linkedin. com/pub/lauren-mckenna/12/6b5/b55), had participated in the walk for years—and was a premature baby herself. To get her team interested, McKenna made an announcement and then conducted a signup. From there, Red Phoenix International started fundraising and getting donations.

“By supporting those less fortunate around us, specifically those who are not able to support themselves, such as premature babies, not only are we contributing as a company, but we are also doing so as members of a community,” said President Michael Mounter of Red Phoenix International. “We’re proud of our participation in the event and hope the money we raised can make an impact.”

Red Phoenix International’s next community involvement will be the JDRF Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at The Bronx Zoo.
