How did your dog fare the fireworks?
Is your dog afraid of fireworks? Many dogs are. The loud noise of fireworks can send these dogs into a state of panic. Some dogs have even had seizures during fireworks.
The combination of loud noises and bright lights can scare dogs, even those that don't normally have a history of noise phobias. Lots of dogs have phobias, and the most common dog phobia is fear of noises.
My previous dog, Lacey was a Golden Retriever. A very good natured dog who was extremely afraid of loud noises. We happened to live next door to a marksman who would occasionally do target practice in his backyard. Unfortunately, we never knew when he would do this. At the first sound of gunshot I would raced to find Lacey. If I did not get to her in time, she bolted. It was a good thing she had tags on her collar because whoever found her gave me a call. It was amazing how many miles she ran!
