Bonfire night is fast approaching. Hopefully you have already started getting things in place if your dog is anxious about fireworks. If not there’s still time.
Something to remember is you cannot reinforce fear by comforting your dog. By being supportive she gently consoling your dog, you won’t make their fear worse. Repeat by gently consoling your dog you WILL NOT make their fear worse.
So make that comfy den for your dog. Go comfort them in there. Snuggle up on the sofa together. Or your bed, you cannot make them feel any more fear than they are. In fact you might just help them feel safe.
Be calm and controlled yourself. Be the support your dog would like.
