The big bang

For outside noises like fireworks or thunderstorms you can try to socialise them to noises as long as it is well away from the busy firework period.
Using a sounds CD (available online). Make sure to introduce gradually. Exposing your dog to sounds of fireworks, rain, gunshots, thunder and much more.
Start super quiet really just at the volume they barely hear it.
Day after day, increase the volume progressively and stop increasing the volume if they seem to react badly to it.
Reward your dog when they responds well.
This process can take quite a long time, so better to do it long before or after firework season.
Seek more advice at puppy classes
If there is a sudden episode of thunder or fireworks to mask the noise by closing curtains and turning the TV/radio on and distract them with treats and toys.

Why is your puppy so scared?

At first, your puppy can be scared by many things, sounds and people. Everything is totally new and unknown to them.

Give them opportunities to learn by exposing them to new sounds, loud noises and unfamiliar situations. Prevention is much better than cure so take a look at this blog to help Prepare Your Puppy.

Expose your puppy gradually to each category and this will help them get familiar and settled. Try out a Puppy Party - there are many benefits to meeting and socialising with other people and pups.

Do not punish your puppy if they aren’t behaving how you would like as this will only distress them further. On the contrary, reward your puppy when they manage to settle down, for instance in presence of a “scary noise” (e.g. the vacuum cleaner).

Puppies will be receptive to new things for up to 16 weeks old. It’s better to start early and gradually.

ADAPTIL Junior releases “appeasing messages” to help your puppy feel more confident and self-assured.

Using ADAPTIL Junior will help your puppy adapt faster to unfamiliar situations.
