My dog absolutely loathes fireworks. She gets incredibly stressed.

Unfortunately nothing we’ve tried has worked to calm her down. She has several beds, we’ve tried calming sprays you plug into the wall, white noise, the lot.

The funny thing, we tried to desensitise her by playing firework noises on the TV. Even with the TV up full volume, sound bar with full bass, she walks around like nothing is happening - doesn’t care in the slightest.

But the faint sound of a firework (or a wheelie bin moving sometimes) and she’s shit scared.
