HAVE YOU BEEN AT HOME DURING THE PANDEMIC? If you have been spending most of your time at home your dog(s) will be very used to this situation and could feel far more anxious than they previously did when left at home alone. This is the time to get your dog used to your absence. Purposefully leave your dog at home even if they could come with you during the run up to your return to work. If they are very anxious start off small, even being in a different part of your house and build up the time. Kongs and chews are also useful to develop a more positive mindset.

Take the stress out, use a muzzle if you need to. You may think, it makes my dog look aggressive but it would be worse if your dog actually bites a another dog or even a child.

T Touch for fireworks. This does work!

It’s bonfire night tomorrow, check out a couple of ways to help keep your dog calm against fireworks and thunder! 🐶💥⛈

Prepare for Fireworks!
Take your dog out in day hours only, ensure dog is toileted before dark. Check gates and fencing. Get your dinner etc done early so that you can be with your dog. Draw the curtains and have the radio/tv on, perhaps a bit louder than usual. Be normal and don't get aggravated with fireworks. Comfort your dog if they are distressed but don't overdo it and stay in the room with your dog. If you have to go open the front door ensure your dog is closed in the room first so there is no chance of the dog bolting. There are various medications/plug in's you can try. Thundershirts are also very good. Visit your vet if it is very severe and if your dog suffers from pain medicate to ensure he/she is comfortable as this can make a dog more noise sensitive.
