You may know that classical music has been shown in many studies to be calming for dogs. But classical music is so varied, and there's a lot of difference between a Brahms lullaby and a Wagner opera!
I've just discovered the lovely Lisa Spector (My Zen Pet) as part of a series of webinars on dog anxiety. She explains that low frequency, smooth (legato) classical music works best to calm dogs. She's put together a playlist called "Dog Gone Calm", which you can stream on lots of platforms. Why not try it tonight, listening together with your dog? Build up that connection so that the dog remembers calm cuddles with you every time they hear the music. After a few sessions, you can then try to see if it helps with their anxiety around issues such as separation anxiety and loud noises / fireworks.
Let me know how it goes.
