Last year they were losing their minds with all the firecrackers and people making noise. I can't "act normal" when my babies are under stress, it stresses me.
What has worked for you? What happens if I comfort them? I've comfort them in the heavy rain and lightning and they're not as scared of it as they used to be. Any thoughts??

Hi, I lived in a fab little village in spain, who had two fiesta's with fireworks a year!
One of the huge firework displays was set up outside my apartment! and went on for hours! my William went crazy! The following year, I went to stay at my friends on the otherside of the village, not soo noisey, I played baby sitter to other friends dogs too...we had our own party,I put the blinds down, we played our own games, danced to music and had a fab time.... but it didn't go on all day and night?
I use lavender oil on myself and my dogs, it helps sooth our nerves when we are stressed out and we sleep sounder too.
