00:00 Hi, I'm Rosie and here's how we can prepare our dogs for fireworks.
00:04 Use sound recordings so that we can expose our dog to fireworks at a volume where they can remain relaxed.

00:17 We can also form positive associations with noises by producing a favourite toy or maybe a tasty titbit
00:24 as soon as your dog's ears prick in response to a sound.

00:34 Provide your dog with a safe, comfy hiding place that's available 24/7 and encourage its use from now.
00:42 Plug in an adaptil diffuser nearby for the month leading up to and over fireworks period.
00:48 If you're going to try body wraps or thunder shirts, trial them now so that you can make sure your dog is totally comfortable wearing them.
00:56 They can move freely and behave normally.
00:58 If your dog is noise sensitive or has shown a fear response to fireworks in the past,
01:03 take them to your vet because there's a strong link between undiagnosed pain and noise sensitivity.
