In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon |
One is snuggled into me,the other is hiding under the bed. There is literally nothing I can do for him, so the snuggled one and I just chill and try to get him to come snuggle every now and then. He is better than he was. |

One isn’t bothered.. he’s old and deaf. Ones mildly bothered, she’s sat right next to me.. the other ones very bothered and sits on me shivering. All I can do is be with them and put them in jumpers. That’s the only thing that makes them more comfortable. |

"I moved to the remote Scottish countryside."
I was thinking of finding a remote air bnb for Sunday night. No point. The fuckers have already been setting them off. |

"Oh, sorry, Fabbers. Hope they're all ok!
Fireworks are one of the few things mine isn't triggered by. Ironing boards on the other hand..."
I'm not daft enough to test the ironing board theory. So sadly... no ironing for me. Gutted  |

Not many going off around me tonight.
She just barks at them when she is in the house or garden. if we were out on a walk she would be a shivering mess, (I wouldn't walk her in the evening this time of year) |

I used to have a little dog like that the only thing that would calm him was his jumper and cuddling right up next to me. |

She’s snuggled up seems content, but suspect there will be much more firework activity during the weekend.
Maybe I’ll head into deepest Northumberland both nights until things settle
Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas  |

I mind a dog and she loses her mind! Stress shedding, excessive saliva, panting excessively, hiding behind the couch (settee to the Uk folk), shaking uncontrollably. When we are out walking, she’ll just bolt away tail between her legs.
We’ve tried all sorts, Xanax, cbd oil, vet recommended anxiety tablets, music etc. Nothing seems to help. At this stage I just have to let her go through it and remind her I’m there.
Feel for her but there’s very little I can do. |

It is horrible for some animals. 
It's the same at New Year. I put the TV on, that's seems to work ok. And pet him and pet him and pet him until he eventually calms. Must be so stressful for them. |

My boy was petrified of them. I used to sit in the room with the curtains closed and the TV on loudly to try and mask some of the noise, and try to distract him with cuddles and his favourite treats. I also used to do the pressure point wrap with a scarf, which seemed to help a bit. |

My boy isn't bothered, he likes to sit in the garden and watch them. The noise doesn't bother him either....however if the wind makes the door creak or he can hear it blowing he's terrified.....I guess he can associate the noise with the colours but wind must be freaky, something you can hear but not see  |

My little dog is completely unfazed by them & sits watching the big dog very judgementally because he is terrified, only thing I’ve found to calm him is taking him for a spin in the car with music up loud  |

"Other than classic fm at high volume and cuddles, how do you help your pooch cope with fireworks?"
By owning a Lab x Malamute that didn't give two hoots, mind you neither did the cat or the Jack Russel.
None of my pets have ever been scared by them, weirdly, and i have had loads |

Living in a rural area ,fireworks arnt a problem for my dogs .The nearest public firework display and bonfire is over 10 miles away ,and the majority of my fellow residents are middle aged couples, and the retired . I have never heard a firework round here in all my years of living here. |

My 2 mostly couldn't give one fuck.
A leaf falling off the tree on the other hand and it's bedlam.
She's afraid of her own shadow which sets him off, then she shouts because he's going spare.
Hence why I'm awake at 5.39am ffs |

"Crate covered in blankets with the door open. Loud tv/radio.
This for mine too, although only two out of the three are bothered by the noise."
My old dog couldn’t give a flying donkey about them. The young one however….. absolute carnage! |

"My dog has been prescribed diazepam for the fireworks as he really cannot tolerate them. It's time we ban the fireworks, I feel so sorry for the wild animals at this time of year. "
The vet used to give mine the same as it was horrendous and really awful to see. Fireworks should only be allowed for organised displays a couple of times a year, if that and using silent ones only. I know people like them but it is at the expence of others, including dogs, and it is not right. |

My older dog is 3 and has never been bothered by them. My new rescue is an unknown, but last night she seemed ok with the few we heard. She is terrified of my hairdryer though. We will see how tonight goes.

I am reasonably far away from people so not as affected. I just whack Classic Fm on and reassure them. I walk them hard during the day so they are very tired.
I used to own a Dorset Old Tyme Bulldogge who was petrified of them for such a big chap. He would dive behind the sofa forcing it across the room. I miss that old softie. |

Mine is only a year old. My dog trainer said from day one that if she is scared of something and I make a fuss about it then she will think she’s was right to be scared (noisy cars, strangers, the wind…. Everything that would spook her). So I just treat fireworks as normal and she seems fine. |

Since I've had her, if anything startled her I'd make eye contact and say 'its ok' shes now associated that to being safe and if I say it, she calms. Having said that on our walk last night a real loud firework went off and we both jumped  . |
