Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Is there anything on the market to subdue a dog on bonfire night? The wifes whippet goes crazy at the first bang, he is crate trained but last yr pulled the door off and tried digging his way out of our living room through the carpet. we returned from an hour out to find wall to wall shit and the dog hiding. so since i have stayed in with him and locked him in the spare bedroom, but he still gets upset Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Tranquillisers can actually make them suffer more as they're doped up but can still hear, but internalise the stress because they are groggy. Get the CDs Sounds Scary http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sounds-Scary-phobias-including-fireworks/dp/B000XPA5MU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348769127&sr=8-1 It won't ever completely the cure the fear that a sound sensitive dog feels, but it does enable them to cope much better. I start playing the CD every year around the beginning of October, very quietly for an hour every evening to begin with, and gradually increasing in volume. It doesn't replicate the pressure waves that come through the air with a very loud bang outside the window, but it does really help to accustom them to the sounds. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirius 1,391 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The trick is to start early don't leave it too late that goes for desensitisation and medication, it's no good waiting for the fireworks to start and then trying to sort the problem.

Sirius 1,391 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 And steer clear of Valium unless 100% needed which it won't be if you start early with a decent desensitisation programme and maybe the aid of natural medicines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
