However, for one member of the household, it can be a scary and worrying time. You need to know how to calm a dog during fireworks displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dogs find the noise of fireworks to be terrifying, and as a result, dog owners find themselves dreading the annual festivities. However, here are six steps to help keep your dog calm when the flashing lights and fireworks start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>1. Do Reassure Your Dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BLOG-FIREWORKS3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13120\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing comfort, cuddles, and reassuring words will not worsen your dog\u2019s anxiety. The chances are that they will appreciate the opportunity to be close to their family and feel a sense of safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim to speak in a calm, quiet voice and slowly stroke along the length of their body. Pet parents can try a calming doggy massage using the <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/health-wellness\/what-is-tellington-ttouch\">Tellington Ttouch method<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, we are used to louder sounds and movements, so your pooch will react no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>2. Desensitize Your Dog to the Sound of Fireworks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recordings of Fourth of July fireworks can be found on YouTube, and these can help your dog to become used to the sounds they make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must play them very quietly, to begin with, so that you can barely hear them, and then assess your dog\u2019s response. They may turn towards the sound, but they shouldn\u2019t show any signs of becoming stressed or worried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a period of days, you can slowly increase the volume until your dog pays little attention to the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential that your dog remains \u2018under threshold\u2019 while they become used to the firework sounds. This means that they don\u2019t respond in a concerned way at any point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A qualified and experienced dog behaviorist or dog trainer may be a great option to help you and your dog through this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>3. Exercise Before Dusk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BLOG-FIREWORKS6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13125\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure your dog has had a good run or long walk before it gets dark. Consider using a harness and a collar with two leashes for safety; if your dog is startled by a loud noise, they may freak out and fight to get free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having two points of contact with your dog reduces the risk that they can get loose. Also, consider taking your dog out into the yard on a leash when they need to toilet, that desire to bolt and run can be immense when they\u2019re scared, especially during thunderstorms or fireworks season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your dog has a microchip and your dog\u2019s ID tag has your current contact information so that you can be quickly reunited in a worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>4. Setting Up the Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"dog in dog bed. how much do puppies sleep\" class=\"wp-image-18993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bfbs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days before celebrations, build your dog a den or kennel that will be his little safe haven. If they have a crate and your dog likes being in there, place it in the corner of the room and cover it with a heavy blanket. If you don\u2019t have a crate, you could put a blanket across two chairs or move your dog\u2019s bed to what will be the quietest room in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s key to have a safe space your pets can rely on to retreat to in times of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing chews, dog treats, and favorite toys in your dog\u2019s \u2018den\u2019 will encourage them to see it as being a good, safe place to be in advance of the fireworks anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pull the blinds or curtains closed and turn the television on a little louder than usual. If you have a white noise machine, even better. Anything which helps to dampen the loud sounds of fireworks on Independence Day is going to help your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing chews, treats, and interactive toys in your dog&#8217;s &#8216;den&#8217; will encourage them to see it as being a good place to be, in advance of the firework noise. Pull the blinds or curtains closed and turn the television on a little louder than usual. Anything which helps to dampen the sound of the fireworks is going to help your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"featuredproduct-block_623c7450be5a7\" class=\"block featuredproduct wp-block-acf-featured-product\">\n\t<div class=\"section-title\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"featuredproduct\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/dogwood-wood-alternative-dog-chew-toy.html?utm_source=Furtropolis&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_content=How+to+Calm+a+Dog+During+Fireworks\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-asivtkjxr8\/products\/2030\/images\/6487\/x2gumxemdzssqv6lujry__25333.1630111349.386.513.jpg?c=1\" alt=\"Product image for Dogwood Wood Alternative Dog Chew Toy, Original &amp; Fresh Breath 2-pack, Multi, Large\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/dogwood-wood-alternative-dog-chew-toy.html?utm_source=Furtropolis&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_content=How+to+Calm+a+Dog+During+Fireworks\">Dogwood Wood Alternative Dog Chew Toy, Original &#038; Fresh Breath 2-pack, Multi, Large<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"price\"><strike>$24.99<\/strike> $12.50<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">A safe and long lasting alternative to chewing real wood sticks, Petstages Dogwood product line has all the taste and texture of a natural tree branch, but will last much longer and won\u2019t splinter and cause potential harm to your beloved pup.
