Anyone got any tricks? I always feel so bad for him. Right now Im just trying to play music to cover it up lol.

I hug him and comfort him in the more literal way, but he just looks so unsure of everything going on :/.

Weed

Just started comforting myself like that. But he doesn't like weed. He always tries to be away from the smoke. So, I just respect that. I mean, he probably doesn't understand that it's directly connected to a feeling. But I wouldn't feel right forcing it on him.

Also, I know that probably wasn't a serious post.

Literally just got my 500watt system here yesterday. It sufficient for this. Can't hear fireworks over it at all.

I leave all the room doors open so he can go wherever he feels comfortable. He seems unsure if I let him on my chair with me. I dunno if he thinks he always has to be on the move or he'll get hit by something or what.

I live where shootings aren't rare. He's still a pussy. That doesn't always do the trick

I used to cower under my bedsheets and pretend that I was afraid of them too, and my dog would calmly join me, presumably trying to comfort me, or maybe it was just being under the sheets that helped him, I dunno I'm not a canine psychologist.

When I had this issue, we put him in one of those heavy dog vests that makes him feel like he's constantly hugged. Also a little xanax

it's over after a day.
last year it didn't react very much (my dog isn't deaf).

moved away from the beach area so maybe that was a difference (people still lit off fireworks around here).

I just took my last one this afternoon lol. No joke.

The blanket thing worked. He seemed ok pretty fast after they'd hit. I haven't heard any in awhile tho, so I'm back.

One of my dogs hates fireworks and thunder. She always cuddles next to me when it happens.

I'm happy to hear it worked. How big is your dog btw? I realised after recommending the blanket that I had a yorkie and that it might not be feasible with a lot of dogs.

Medium sized. Pit-lab mix. He sleeps in my bed anyway.
