Going to give the cd a go,get in some practice before Halloween Thanks Jenny G and Fluffy xx

Generally we see that a fear of fireworks is a common phobia for dogs. They often find the loud, unpredictable noise and bright displays of light truly frightening.
In this way there are some activities by which our dog overcome his fear of fireworks like you should Play the video or any recording at the lowest possible volume a few times during the day.
After some days now you can increase the volume of the recording or the video over the course of several days. Repeat this several times each day until your dog can hear the sounds of the fireworks at a fairly high volume without becoming fearful.

On top of all the great suggestions what I do is make a game of my dog. isn't.quite affected like yours but is very reactive so we sing songs and say stuff like yaaaaaa good boy chasing Oct them sky burglars them Chuck treats at him.and this is switches him off quicker

In my own experience I have found it's a minority of dogs that develop the full blown fear (I would say phobia isn't quite the right term) And that the majority range from some degree of reaction to no reaction at all. most owners dont tend to know of the technivakities of anxieties etc but often socialise and habituate dogs to stuff like fireworks and being left alone but a hqppenstance of good responsible upbringing

Luckily my dog was born in the country with shooting going on by the farmers in surrounding fields.
When his first bonfire night came i was concerned how he would react - nothing. He didn't blink an eyelid. So i took him into the back garden to see if rockets lighting up the sky would worry him - nothing. So we went for a walk with it all going on and he just watched it with interest but no reaction.
Heres a link for some fireworks to play on the computer.
