Some of the most dreaded celebrations in many dog owners lives are New Years Eve and Canada Day. These days normally means an abundance of fireworks being set off resulting in their canine companions having total meltdowns. Dogs go missing, damage to the house is done and a normally joyous time of the year becomes one filled with anxiety inducing prospects.
All kinds of band-aid interventions are offered. Thundershirts and wraps, anxiety reducing supplements, high frequency transmitters and more are purchased in attempts to help their dogs. Often, these lead to limited successful results.
If you want to address fear..of fireworks or other stimuli…be proactive as opposed to reactive.
