Does your dog bark or get stressed during bonfire night?
Here's my step by step plan for you to help calm them...
1.
Start by playing very quiet firework noises in the lead-up a month or two before, allowing them to acclimate to the sounds gradually. Make sure they have a safe, cozy spot to retreat to - a den/crate they can call their own.
2.
To keep their minds occupied, offer a favorite chew toy.
Remember, it's essential not to make a fuss over them during this time to avoid reinforcing their anxiety. Instead, project calm and reassurance.
