Fireworks and Dogs

Everybody needs to be careful with fireworks around their young dogs and older dogs that have not been properly conditioned to gunfire.

Fireworks can screw up a dog faster than anything and it's a lot harder to fix a gunshy or noise sensitive dog than it is to keep one from ever being shy in the first place.

Here are some tips:

Keep your dogs as far away from fireworks as possible.

If possible, bring your dogs in the house in a closed-off interior room.

Background noise like a TV, radio, or "white noise" maker can help block out the noise.

Sometimes the fireworks start before New Year's Eve or the 4th of July and run a few days after the holiday.

It never hurts to check with your neighbors about their fireworks plans. Give them a heads up that you have a young dog and ask them to give you a call before they start.

I do my best to keep all my dogs away from any kind of fireworks. Even dogs that have been properly conditioned to gunfire can become upset or nervous when exposed to fireworks. It just isn't worth it.
