Jax is now 6 months old and is over 5st and still a bouncy pup. This week we have fireworks to contended with it a hard one. He hasnt bother up to now but with a lot going off he doesnt like ones in the sky big bangs he doesnt even look up but light in the sky he doesnt like. Its hard to deal with by rights if the alpha male goes forward so should the pack so its a matter of ignoring any sign of fright and carry on towards the firework as if nothing has happened. It fatal to turn back or stroke the dog as this tell him something is wrong. He must think its normal and nothing to fear so you must remain calm and assertive. Ant sign of excitement will make things worse. In practice its not that simple and sounds cruel but if you turn away then it is something to fear. In the house he isnt to bad our old dog would try and hide but he doesnt we give him a bone so he associates the bangs with something good ie food.
In the park he loves to sit on the bench and watch the world go by and like seeing the ducks who come very close to him as they are used to dogs
