Firework Season
The 'season' or the celebrations for bonfire night seem to be spread over a longer and longer period each succeeding year in the UK!
So many poor dogs are terrified of the bangs, they hide, or they shiver and shake with fear, or both... I am hoping it will soon be finished with for their sakes.
If you have a fearful pet just try to reassure it, talk to it, and say positive things about the fireworks... as in 'isn't it pretty' in an upbeat voice! Some people say this works, worth a try!
We are so lucky in that our rescue dog seems to ignore them completely. Though one evening we were outside and some rockets went off and he just stood there with his head on one side and watched and seemed MOST interested. He just seemed to be admiring them!
