Ten Things to Do for Your Dog if They’re Scared By Fireworks
My two big German Shepherds just hated the Fourth of July. My girl Bella used to run in the bathroom, push the shower curtain aside, and lay down in the tub.

The dog who likes fireworks probably is a good hunting dog too. But, not mine, and not a lot of other dogs on the Fourth of July. But there are things you can do to help your furry kid get through fireworks season without going totally insane.
The American Kennel Club has all kinds of advice on how to get your pooch through the entire summer in good shape. But for the Independence Day holiday, they have 10 tips on how to keep your dog calm.
