Fireworks and thunderstorms can be stressful for dogs, but with preparation, you can help them stay calm. Here are our top tips:
- Create a Safe Haven
Set up a cozy space where your dog feels secure, like a crate with their favorite blanket.
- Use Calming Aids
Consider products like Thundershirts, calming sprays, or anxiety wraps to soothe your dog.
- Play White Noise
White noise machines or soft music can drown out the sound of fireworks or thunder.
- Stay Calm Yourself
Dogs pick up on your energy, so remain calm and reassuring during stressful events.
- Train Desensitization
Work with a trainer to desensitize your dog to loud noises over time.
- Exercise And Mentally Drain Your Dog
