It can be an incredibly distressing experience for all kinds of dogs, making November 5 a difficult night to make it through for both dogs and owners. But now, courtesy of this helpful training clip, owners are no longer completely helpless to ease their dog’s discomfort when fireworks are going off.

       The video, which was posted by TikTok user @manchesterk9academy, shows viewers how to gradually desensitise their dogs to the loud noises.

       At the beginning of the clip, the trainer explains that owners first need to find some firework sounds on Youtube to use for the exercise.

       The video demonstrates how once the sounds are playing at a low volume, it is crucial to give plenty of reassurance to the dog as the noise continues.

       Once they are more comfortable with the noise, the volume is increased as the dog continues to be reassured.

       It is important to work with the dog while the noises play on in the background, helping them to become further desensitised.

       Viewers were clearly very thankful for the tips, with one user commenting: “I’ve done this with my pup, seems to be working now they’ve started going off for real.”

       Another commenter wrote: “I did this with my puppy since I got her and we sat and watched fireworks out the window the other night, no stress or anything she fell asleep.”

       A third added: “I’ve done this with my boy.”

       But this TikTok clip isn’t the only helpful tool for dog owners this bonfire night, with others also making efforts to help ease the struggle for dogs any time fireworks are going off.

       Relax My Dog have worked to help dogs in this situation, making music designed to calm dogs down and provide a much-needed distraction from the distressing noise.

       The brand shared a video of the music being played for dogs of all shapes and sizes, giving them a calming influence in an otherwise stressful situation.
