Dogs terrified

Looks like it will be a long night, dogs not happy. I have all the televisions on, volume turned up and he can still hear the fire works. Anyone else expecting problems tonight? Pitiful to see him, anyone got any helpful tips.

An alcoholic is someone you dont
like who drinks as much as you do

Shame you can't purchase some kind of a sedative from vets to knock em out tonight.

You did gain far too much fat though,I mean,you're not muscular at all,you're just a fat mess.

bit late but for next year

you can buy a cd with fireworks on, play it softly for a month, then gradualy with tme increase the volume up

Probs best to put them down, its not fair on them.

Joke lol but yeah they do get terrified, they probably think its the apocalypx lol.

Subject them to as much noise and strange events when they are just 3 months old. As a result of this I've never had a dog scared of fireworks. I realise it's a bit late for the OP though lol

Shame you can't buy some sort of doggy ear defenders.  Must be very frightening for them.

 
 My Story 

Also if they act alarmed don't go over and stroke them or comfort them in any way. This indicates to the dog that something is wrong and will make them more scared. Just ignore it and so will the dog usually imo

Poor Pebblescat is scared as well :/

It's guns o'clock 24 hours a day in Rackworld.

My Rabbit was doing ok out in the garden but i've brought him indoors and have him sat on the couch with me now while i catch up on some Sky+ (got HD coming Monday so watching all the recorded stuff).

Might just spend the night in front of the tv, light a fire, and spoil him a bit giving him bits of food

doesnt bother my dog in the slightest, she just stands and watches them

if the dog is scared mate, ignore it totally.  and the noise. If you try comfort the dog or reassure it, what your actually doing is rewarding it being scared and telling it that its the correct reaction.

I sympathise with this view.

If you paired up a fireworks display, Loose Women, and ...Next Top Model i think te world would implode

I watched over an hour long fireworks display in a harbour by our hotel in Sydney at the end of a holiday last year and it was about as impressive as a fireworks display could be - which wasn't really all that. This was right at the end of the summer at the early part of september - they'd got twice the amount of fireworks as usual as the previous display had been called off for bad weather. Despite that it still wasn't the impressive - it's just lights and sparkles after all.

Massive waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere. Bah humbug

You can buy pheremone from the vets which will chill your dogs out.

I have the feline equivalent (Felliway) for my cats and it seems to work with them.

My dogs not happy either, always tries to climb behind the tv.

I'm with the "ignore it" posts - you don't want to omfort and reward your dog when he's doing the wrong thing (ie being sh*tscard of the fireworks).

Its what we've done with our chap, and he's now alright and doesn't appear to care at all about the noises.

I was furious at the fckg idiots letting of loads last night, pointless and my little lad was petrified.

My dog does not seemed fazed. Aslong as he's near a radiator that's switched on he's not bothered.

Ive been entered a few times by delivery men, i didn't hold it against them.

Strange how different dogs react.
My last dog didn't like them.
Current dog does not react in any way. At all.
Maybe he's deaf.

He might be immune to it all - you've exploded many a time haven't you. Roughly 5 mins after you get a chinese so the dog is used to fireworks
