Fireworks Alert
Tips to Prepare your pup:
- Play white noise or soothing music
- Take them on a long walk before the fireworks begin
- Offer comfort and love
- Be sure your dog has on their tag and tracking device in case they run
- Keep your windows closed
- Play with a squeaky toy to distract, but don’t insist
- Stuff a Kong with their favorite snacks
- Try an anxiety vest, e.g., Thunder Shirt, or swaddle them in a cozy blanket
- You can try desensitizing them, regularly, with firework sounds at a low level on YouTube, etc., and praise and treat them for remaining calm
- If they like their crate, you can cover the sides with a blanket to muffle the sounds, but don’t lock them in
