Fireworks Night can be magical for us humans, but for our dogs, it can feel like the world’s ending. Those loud bangs and bright flashes can trigger real fear, even in the calmest of pups. In this week’s Paws and Pawsitivity episode, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey shares compassionate, practical ways to keep your dog safe and comforted during Bonfire Night.
From creating a secure “safe space” to using calming music (yes, even Classic FM has a pet-friendly fireworks playlist!), Jamie explains how to reduce fear and keep tails wagging through the chaos. You’ll also learn why it’s so important to plan ahead, because when dogs panic and bolt, it’s devastating for both them and their guardians.
Whether your dog just pricks their ears at the bangs or trembles in terror, this episode is packed with heart, science, and kindness to help you both through the season safely. Tune in on YouTube at @PTA_Dog, and let’s make this Fireworks Night a little more pawsitive.
