Bella's First Fourth of July
Bella did great on New Years and I think she'll be fine on
the Fourth of July. I do the same thing each year to get us through the day...
- My dogs get CBD oil daily for wellness; starting on the 1st, I'll give Rodrigo an extra dose and continue doing this through the fifth.
- We'll go on several walks and play in the yard all day to wear them out.
- My dogs will enjoy raw meaty bones and
chews as light meals and evening snacks.
- I'll watch an action movie (probably John Wick 4) to distract from the fireworks. Maverick and The Tomorrow War are also good, noisy movies to watch.
Creating a Positive Association
When the fireworks start, I shout "BOOM!!!" in an excited voice and give each dog a treat - this is why they have a light meal during the day.
I play this game until the dogs settle down. Each year I've done this, the dogs end up sleeping through the worst of the fireworks.
It doesn't erase Rodrigo's fear, but it helps him get through the night.
