So many people refuse to get what fireworks do to some dogs. Our largest is traumatized badly. We've tried everything to help him but the subsonic booms still get to him.
So sad seeing him just standing with scared eyes, not knowing what to do, all while panting like crazy. He's gotten better the last few years, thank goodness.

1. I drunk.
2. Illegal fireworks display is crazy where I'm at right now, someone went to Mexico for some crazy **** or something. 3. I'm 10 digits richer. 4. Got a couple of dollar bin records and the shop owner wrote them down because he said I always surprise him with what I find in there. Ego strokage.

Tried everything. Maybe it's because he's so damn big???

I got home about 30 minutes ago and Niko was freaked out. He's still pretty clingy.

I’m afraid if you love on your pet when they act scared you’re reinforcing their belief that there’s actually something to be afraid of.
Not sure - but my dog is a rescue and he’s chilled some. Or...I might be totally wrong.

OH is right but it's a case by case thing. If your dog is nervous on a walk or around people, that kind of approach can make things worse than if you just try to normalize it. Bit hard to normalize getting used to fireworks though, especially when they're illegal (damn wildfires).
