What Fireworks?

I feel really sorry for those with woofers who are afraid of fireworks. I know I have been there in the past.

However, Mo has just been out for a wee and she was squat there with all the skies around her ablaze with popping, banging fireworks and she carried on as if it was just any other night

I know- i was worried but Werm is cool as a cucumber. It would be dreadful if your dog is scared through!!

Aww Bless ~ if only my two were not so bothered we've had to batton down the hatches for the night they won't even go in the garden for a wee! It sounds like there's a war going on around us at the minute and I'm seriously wondering if it is actually fireworks being let off or Bombs!

I also am blessed with dogs that dont bother with fire works,

I do feel so heart sorry for those who have dogs that get so upset, it must be hell, it goes on for days on end, those poor dogs must be so exausted by the end of it.

We have got more going off tonight than there was on Thursday & luckily Tilly's not batting an eyelid either I'm now convinced the DAP diffuser is working a treat as when there some in July, she barked all evening!

For once in my life, I have two dogs, totally oblivious of all the bangs and whizzes, Georgie is flaked out on the floor and Zena is playing with her big ball in the lounge, AH total bliss!! I never thought I'd have this on firework night, and I'm going to make darn sure I keep it this way, I won't make any silly mistakes, like letting them out for a wee just before a really big explosion, and boy are they loud tonight, they're more like bombs going off than fireworks

YOu have my deepest sympathy those of you with terrified dogs, it's downright cruel to put them through this, I wish we could stop it somehow Hopefully, it'll all be over tomorrow and your dogs will have forgotten all about it by the morning.

my girl, Lexus, has never been bothered.

When i worked and lived at the rescue, all the live staff dogs were never bothered.

All of us, dogs and poeple, used to sit around the fireworks bonfire party.

Then Lex and I moved in with my fiance in Denmark.

The entire country is covered in fireworks new years eve.
We climbed to the top of a very big hill that overlooks the city and witness a huge 360 % fireworks display for 1 hour, which was awesome.
All 3 of our Shepherd girls were pretty chilled.

Now we are back in England, one of our girls has passed away.

We got a new dog 4 weeks ago, 13 month old Rottie X.

He heard some fireworks first time one evening last week, he barked and ran to the window a couple of times, pretty alarmed.
So we just played with him.
Then went for walk with the bangs going on around us, giving him treats.
Every night since, he couldnt care less.
He sleeps thru them now.

Awww I'm glad Werm is ok, I agree it is dreadful to have a noise nervous dog.

Oh poor you, I hope they're soon over for you.

I agree, especially as they go on for so many days now.

Glad the DAP is working for Tilly, it had no effect on a dog I had before Mo.

I quite agree H

Aww bless him, so pleased he is ok with them now.

thank you

although, he wasnt really scared of the fireworks, per se.

he just heard someone banging outside and did what any good rottie would do in that situation, ran to the window gobbing at the 'intruder'.

so we just made a game out of it.
thus, the fireworks arent relevant to the training really, as we would use the same procedure for any new or novel alarming noises.

From what hubby has told me when he takes Harley to the toliet they do put him off so he comes back without going.

However in the house he seems to be fine most of the time, like now he is just laying there. Weird really as he hears everything and normally feels he has to alert you to every tiny pathetic noise.
