Fireworks

You might think that it is early in the year to be thinking about fireworks and your anxious dog but the truth is that now is the best time to start thinking about it. There are many dogs that suffer from noise phobias and firework season is a tough time, in some cases these dogs need medical support from their vet in order to get them through. But the aim should be to always support your dog without the need to medicate, and using noise desensitisation is the key to this. The problem is that desensitisation doesn’t happen overnight. You will need to have patience and remember that you are moving at a pace set by your dog, if you increase the noise intensity before your dog is ready then you can undo all of your hard work.
