Well it's that time of year again...the first long weekend in our spring/summer lineup!
This celebration in Canada is known as Victoria Day and I am sure many will be celebrating with food and drink and enjoying time with family and friends.
Another festivity that we also enjoy at this time of year is Fireworks. Unfortunately many of our canine friends do not share in the excitement. There are quite a few dogs out there who are nervous wrecks when it comes to fireworks. The sudden and loud sound, of fireworks, can turn a dog into a panting, pacing and drooling nightmare.
Luckily there are methods that can be used to help lessen the anxiety assosciated with the occurance of fireworks such as retraining with the use of CD's with fireworks sounds and using the newly available Dog Appeasing Phermones.
The following are a few links to check out on the topic. I hope you find them usefull.
Happy Victoria Day!
