A lot of dogs are dealing with a phobia called Acousticophobia which is the fear of loud noise including fireworks. Did they get scared this New Year or where the type who ended approaching the fireworks out of curiosity rather than run away from it.
Here's a brief explanation of what it is and how you will be able to help your dogs deal with it.
A lot of dogs fear fireworks. Mostly, this is due to the very loud sound that goes "boom boom" while the fireworks are being lit up.
In order to manage this problem, here are some short management tips you can do.
1. As soon as your dog starts to shake, shiver or pace down the house, shut the windows and door. Close the curtains.
2. Take your dog to the living room and turn on the music, TV or radio loud enough to mask the sound outside.
3. Do not comfort your dog or console him/her. Avoid fidgeting, fussing and paying too much attention to your dog. Act normal.
4. You could also add some distraction by making him do tricks to keep his mind from focusing on the sound outside once it decreases or is lessened.
