*Tips for Helping Dogs Cope with Fireworks
*Start Training Early: Begin desensitizing your dog to the sound of fireworks by playing recordings at a low volume while rewarding calm behavior. Gradually increase the volume over time.
*Create a Safe Space: Set up a cozy, quiet area in your home where your dog can retreat during fireworks. Include their favorite toys and blankets.
*Use Calming Aids: Consider using products like anxiety wraps, calming treats, or pheromone diffusers to help soothe your dog's nerves.
