Most dogs have a horrible time when there\u2019s any type of celebration that includes fireworks. This type of disorder is called acousticophobia and it affects many dogs. It causes them to have panic attacks and to run away and hide. Do you know how to deal with this?<\/p>\n
The first to do is to try to know when fireworks are going to be thrown and try to be at home. Your dog may be less scared if he is not alone. Take him out for a walk before the fireworks start, not during. If you\u2019re out taking a walk and the fireworks start, he may try to run away and get lost. We don\u2019t recommend taking dogs to see fireworks, but if you do it\u2019s important for him to be tied the whole time.<\/strong><\/p>\n During the fireworks don\u2019t try to pet him to get him to calm down. If you do, you will send the wrong message and he will associate a stressful situation with something positive: fear + stress= I get attention<\/strong>. If you pet him he will eventually get even more nervous to get your attention, maybe thinking that it\u2019s the only way he gets it. Don\u2019t get mad at him either, or scream, it will just make it worse. The best thing to do is to ignore him or distract him playing a game.<\/p>\n Another thing that you can do is to minimize the noise by putting him in a room as far away from the noise<\/strong>. You can play music or turn the television on so he doesn\u2019t hear the fireworks as much.<\/p>\n The most important thing is for you to be calm and ignore the noises, don\u2019t get nervous, he can sense it.<\/strong> Dogs can hear noises four times better than we can, imagine that?<\/p>\n If your dog hides when there\u2019s fireworks one thing you can do is to create a safe place where he can be during the fireworks. <\/strong><\/p>\n If you have tried all the above and your dog is still having a hard time you may need something extra. Talk to your vet and explain the situation. You vet may recommend using natural products like bach flowers or DAP (dog appeasing pheromone)<\/strong>; you should start using them a few days before the fireworks.<\/p>\n Thunder shirts are also an option, these are calming or anti-anxiety shirts that work by applying pressure to the dog\u2019s torso. This way calming hormones like endorphins and oxytocin will be naturally released. You can buy them online or at your closest pet store. It\u2019s not recommended to put the t-shirt on the day of, the dog may associate having it on with a stressful situation (fireworks), which is why you should put it on a few days prior. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Fila” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Separador” color=”#afd59d” show_divider=”on” divider_style=”solid” divider_position=”top” hide_on_mobile=”on”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texto” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”] You may also like: [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog admin_label=”Blog” fullwidth=”off” include_categories=”58,48,43″ show_thumbnail=”on” show_content=”off” show_more=”off” show_author=”on” show_date=”on” show_categories=”on” show_comments=”on” show_pagination=”on” offset_number=”0″ use_overlay=”off” background_layout=”light” use_dropshadow=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” posts_number=”3″] [\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most dogs have a horrible time when there\u2019s any type of celebration that includes fireworks.
