Does your dog watch intently for the next word from you? Does she check in with you frequently? These are examples of engagement. Engagement involves forming a connection with your dog, creating a pet partner that's easier to train and less stressed in new situations. 🎥 Tips for building stronger engagement from Nicole Ellis, CPDT-KA @tailswithnicole at https://t.co/fgjFXYeDhU

Is your dog a leash-puller? The innovative Locking Martingale Collar cinches to provide the gentle control and security of a martingale collar, yet can be securely fastened for off-leash use, so there is no need to swap to an everyday collar for i.d. purposes at the dog park, traveling, or even at doggy daycare. https://t.co/4hrtz3jZoX

During and after a car crash, Sleepypod will be there to help protect your pet. Every Sleepypod carrier and car safety harness has been crash-tested to keep your pet safer in a crash, but if your pet’s car safety restraint is put to the test in a car accident, it’s eligible for replacement through Sleepypod’s Crash Replacement Program.
The integrity of safety restraint components can be compromised as a result of the forces on the restraint in an accident — just like human seatbelts and child safety restraints. Sleepypod will replace or provide a replacement discount on any pet carrier or car safety harness damaged in an auto accident, regardless of the brand. Learn more at https://t.co/McrYBkvLeZ

Car accidents happen when we least expect them. 5-year-old Winnie was buckled up in her Clickit Sport car safety harness behind the front passenger seat. Here’s the accident account:
“We were hit in the rear of our car while slowing down due to traffic. The oncoming vehicle was going 40-60 mph upon impact. The car is totaled, all passengers are ok but two sustained concussions.”
Clickit Sport and Clickit Terrian car safety harnesses undergo rigorous testing, including dynamic crash testing, in order to meet Sleepypod’s high standards for safety before being independently tested and certified by the Center for Pet Safety. Both models earned the highest possible 5-Star rating.

☀️ Pet Tip #5: DIY Pet Treat Dispensers for Your Distraction Toolbox - Try freezing high-value treats like watermelon or chicken in your pet’s Yummy Travel Bowls, or fold a Cloudpuff blanket in multiple layers with treats tucked inside. In addition to redirecting your pet when stressed or when company visits, these tools keep your pet mentally stimulated, helping to improve cognitive function. We call that a win-win! 🙌

☀️ Pet Tip #4: Don't wait until the last minute to pull out your pet's calming gear. One of the scariest days of the year for pets is just a few days away. Now is an excellent time to reintroduce (or introduce) your pet to its Martingale Calming Harness and Sleepypod carrier to help soothe anxiety caused by Independence Day loud noises and busy activities.
📸 Sophie and Woodrow of @threechattycats know the Sleepypod mobile pet bed is a safe space; wearing Sleepypod's Martingale Calming Harnesses can add extra reassurance when in uncomfortable or unfamiliar environments. https://t.co/ckPd8ZmFTC

☀️ Pet Tip #3: Work on placement Training - Dogs, and even cats, can be trained to go to a designated space, like a blanket. On busy holidays with guests or new destinations, placement training is especially helpful for door-dash prevention. The basics include using a marker word like “place” and positive reinforcement. Using a clicker as a tool can be helpful for some, too.
📸 Morris knows that Sleepypod’s Cloudpuff blankie is not just a super cozy space to hang out — treats and praise come when placed, too. https://t.co/ckPd8ZmFTC

☀️ Pet Tip #2: Check Your Pet's ID Tag - ID tag engraving can rub smooth from wear, making it hard to read the contact information. Have you moved? Information can become outdated. Take 10 seconds to verify your pet's ID tag is up-to-date. More pets go missing over the Independence Day holiday; the loud booms💥 can cause them to run away.
📸 Daisy is all ears, so ensuring her ID tag is up-to-date over the noisy Fourth is important. She also keeps close to her handler with Sleepypod's Power Leash, which has an integrated traffic handle. https://t.co/ckPd8ZmFTC

After a 6.3-magnitude earthquake - Ready at a moment's notice, 📷 @pau87to shared their experience with us yesterday: "An earthquake scared the heck out of us in Bogotá (Colombia) this morning… and having our Sleepypods at the door, ready to use, made a huge difference for all of us!!"
As @Noaa@WRNAmbassadors Sleepypod knows all too well that knowing your safe space for you and your pets is essential. In a natural or man-made disaster, your pets will be frightened, too. So it's even more critical to acclimate them to their carriers before disaster strikes; placing them in the carrier at a moment's notice will be easier since your pet will know that the carrier is a safe space.
@usgs has fantastic earthquake preparedness tips, including:
-What should I do in an earthquake?
-What should I NOT do in an earthquake?
-What emergency supplies do I need DURING an earthquake?

Size matters! For safe car travel, 🚗 it’s important to choose an appropriately sized crash-tested carrier for your pet. In an accident or hard stop, your pet will travel a shorter distance and, in doing so, limit the acceleration to reduce the force.
When visiting the Sleepypod design studio, Amore had her choice of several original-size Sleepypod carriers, but she jumped right in and got cozy in the Sleepypod Mini, which is appropriate for her toy size.
