Is your dog afraid of fireworks? What will you do to help your canine with July 4 celebrations. We've listed some tips below, do you have any additions?
What to do during a fireworks display:
Keep doors, windows and dog flaps closed.
Draw the curtains.
Play music with a repetitive beat at a medium volume to help mask the sounds.
Although itβs tempting, do not comfort or reassure your pets β they will feel that you are anxious too and their fear will be rewarded and encouraged.
Never punish your pets β it is not their fault that they are scared and it will add to their anxiety.
Let dogs hide where they like β do not try to tempt them out.
If dogs are scared, do not pick up or restrain them as dogs prefer to control how they cope.
