This dog is 80 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-and-dogs#post-2406468 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 08:21:08 +0000 LCTBQE 2406468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned a trick from a trainer to play tennis ball with her when she's scared--their brains can't really do two things at once was the explanation? This probably won't work for everyone, but ours is a Lab and cannot resist the ball no matter how freaked she is. </p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: that's what I'm putting on *myself* to calm the F down lately :wink: it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-and-dogs#post-2406466 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 08:13:38 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2406466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours isn't extremely anxious when it comes to fireworks, but I put a drop of lavender essential oil on her spine and I think it helped! She kept sniffing the air like, "where is that smell coming from?" Lol. I'm going to try it next time we have a thunder storm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-and-dogs#post-2406464 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 08:05:42 +0000 lady baltimore 2406464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pup didn't seem to hear them last night. I think it helped that they started after we were already in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-and-dogs#post-2406453 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 06:10:22 +0000 FaithFertility 2406453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: He was OK after a few hrs :/ yes hours!!!!!<br /> They went on all night!!!<br /> I honestly think he was worse because of DD he is protective, well at least tries to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-and-dogs#post-2406435 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 02:09:25 +0000 808love 2406435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: thanks for the advice for next year.
