Teach Your Pet to React to Smoke Alarms

If you’re a pet owner, we know how much your furry friend means to you. However, in some instances, they can be in danger and unable to help themselves. For example, in case of a fire in the house, it can be challenging to retrieve your pet. They may panic and hide or run away, making it difficult for you to find them.

But there’s a simple hack that can help ensure your pet’s safety. Next time you accidentally activate your smoke alarm, give your pets a treat. Over time, this can create a form of classical conditioning where your pets learn to associate the sound of the smoke alarm with a treat and seek you out. This way, you can safely exit the building in case of emergency and have peace of mind knowing that your pet is following you.
