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.

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

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

Thanks for that will look into it.

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.

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 :/

rescue remedy is one option i used to use with my dog, wont knock your dog out but will manage the situation

Very true lost, mines drinking a large vintage scotch whilst smoking a cigar. He seems fine

Yeah my pooch is going crazy. He has an ear busting bark too so its quite annoying! Poor guy.

How about taking them out for a walk.  might help

dont seem to be bothering our dog which is strange as she is a big wuss.

my dogs laid under my bed hiding like a coward lol he thinks hes hard usualy!

their giving us the old switcheroo.

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.

Fireworks rank amongst the most pointless invention ever.
