I`m very lucky as my two dogs take no notice of any fireworks or the noise they make.
I often watch the sky displays of fireworks from a distance in my garden and the dogs stand with me.
I think conditioning a puppy from an early age to accept loud bangs like gunfire helps a lot.
But some dogs with nervous and weak temperaments that is genetic, can suffer dreadfully on firework night and during thunderstorms.
I hate fireworks as many farm animals and wild animals suffer from fright because of them and its all just money going up in smoke and serves no purpose except to entertain the masses. But then i`m old and cynical these days! lol.
My last Sheltie, a rescue, reacted poorly to storms and I discovered she had been played with excessively by owners using a laser lite.
This over stimulated here, and lightening triggered a violent barking episode. I found crating her with a cover over the crate settled her down nicely.
I would never recommend playing with a dog using a laser light.
It doesn't take a nervous or fearful dog to do crazy barking. Sometimes, if you think and look hard enough, you can find the real reason for the response. Don't ever assume anything when it comes to a dogs behavior patterns.
We recused an abused puppy from a rescue shelter....and even though he looked like a doberman........he hadn't had his tail or ears clipped yet........so he had all the markings......but because of the early abuse, was actually scared of everything. He hated fireworks especially......and it took us a long time before he would even let us pet him. He flinched every time we stuck our hands to pet him . But with patience and love, he finally learned we were the good guys, and he lived a very pampered and comfortable life with us............and people thought he was this ferocious watch dog.......but he was scared of his own shadow all the time. he wouldn't hurt a fly, and rarely barked at anyone.
My dog doesn't mind it to much, he gets a little nervous tho. Fireworks can actually damage dogs ears though so try to avoid them.
My dog hates fireworks. Scares him to death. I leave him inside with the windows and doors closed. He usually ends up in the downstairs bathroom (his safe spot).
I had a German Shepherd years ago that really suffered too. No matter what I tried. Oddly enough the toy Poodle we had wasn't bothered at all. She looked at him like he was crazy.
my dog gets very frightened but watch out leave your dog inside as many dogs have escaped yards and ran away from fireworks when they were outside <
