Tank is scared of any loud booms or anything. Like guns going off fireworks ect.. Living next to a bar and a young couple next door also and it being 2-3 weeks before 4th of July...they hardship begins! i feel bad for him. I dont cuddle him or anything when he is freaking out but I put him in his crate make it comfy for him and cover his crate with a quilt. Last year he was out in his outside run and I fell asleep on the couch. I woke up to fireworks and ran outside and...Tank was gone. He was missing for 3 days and then wounded up on my uncle property about 5 miles away from where I live. besides being sore and in pain(he has hip problems) he was fine. So of-course this year I am nervous. he will not be out in his run alone until August to be on the safe side and after 5 pm on a leash outside. I feel bad but it is for his safety.
Bentley- he is fine with them except dynamite or any of the little ones you can throw. He gets really "vicious" as I call it and tries to attack it. I mean full force growling/snapping/lunging at it. With the bigger ones he is fine! He sits on a blanket with me and watches the show. Why he has a thing with the little one is beyond me.
Mae- she is fine with them. She has even gone to a few firework shows with us. She enjoys it so we take her. She has even fallen asleep during one. The ONLY show she had a problem with was 2 years ago. before the fireworks they have little shows going on. Well they were doing a show where they would have a plan fly and drop a bomb or something then have fire engines for in and put out the fire. The first one that dropped scared me which made her jump. Then the second one she was a little better with but jumpy the rest of the show.
So how are your dogs? For those who have dogs scared of fireworks what do you do to help them through them?
