As above really. I have 2 dogs, one GSD and one JRT.
The GSD is not in the slightest bothered by fireworks at all, he would sit out in the garden and watch if I let him!
The JRT is not happy, she won't settle and barks a lot.
I am taking her to the vets tomorrow to see if they will give me a calmer or mild sedative of some sort and always do the usual curtains drawn, loud TV, dont fuss etc.
It doesn't seem to matter what I do... it is as though she listens out for them anyway! She doesn't seem terrified or get hgerself into a state, just barks and barks at them.
Anyway, with this in mind, would you go out in the evening and leave the nervous dog with calmer, curtains, TV etc?
I am not keen at all, my OH thinks I am being too over protective though.
We have no close neighbours, so the barking won't bother anyone... but so far I am still saying no.
Would you go out and leave your dog?
