July Dog
My dog is afraid of Fireworks and the 4th of July celebration is coming up?
We wont be at the house. My dog is terribly afraid of them, and usually runs by our side and lays down by us at even the slightest pop. Is there anything I can do to make the day a bit less traumatic for him?
Are you going to be home with him or are you leaving him alone?
If you're home, then just being there should help him a lot. Turn on the TV (not to a station playing the fireworks, of course) to help drown out the noise. Speak to him reassuringly. Keep all the windows and doors closed. Give him lots of cuddles. But don't act anxious about how he'll react... he'll pick up your anxiety and get more wound up. Just relax and show him that you're not worried.
If you're going out for the night, turn on the TV or create other white noise to muffle the fireworks. Put him in a smaller room or some place he feels safe. Cushion any areas if you think he might run around frantically and give him a place he can hide and feel safe (like his crate if he has one).
Obviously don't take him outside.
Here are some more tips:
