DOGS SCARED OF FIREWORKS

Teach your dog to relax during firework season

There are sadly still many dogs with an extreme fear of fireworks and unfortunately these days  there may be more than one evening of firework displays near you during Guy Fawkes’ season, as well as at other times of the year, so it is really worthwhile starting a behavioural change programme as soon as possible for your dog.

As well as starting on a methodical and effective behaviour change programme for future occasions when there may be fireworks, it is also very helpful to start straight away on methods which will help your dog cope better in the short-term and so at least begin to reduce the fear response for those events which will be happening in the coming weeks.
