I mean, if you know your dog is scared of fireworks, then you should just get your dog some ear muffs and some treats and chill with em until the fireworks are over, give em love so that they learn that it’s nothing bad.
If you complain about something that doesn’t directly affect your dog, but your not willing to train your dog or put in the effort and love to help it, then you are a bad dog owner.
Don’t blame the doggos, and don’t blame the people minding their own business not hurting anyone, life isn’t supposed to be super easy no problems 24/7.
Nah, can’t scroll past this one without commenting - because so many things that have been said matter of factly are just plain wrong.
Dogs just like people have their own personalities, just because SOME dogs can be trained to ignore fireworks, it does not mean ALL dogs can be - some dogs - just like people, suffer from various anxieties, it can’t be helped.
The main point you seem to be missing - yes you can stay in and chill with your pooch on the ACTUAL day that fireworks are expected to be going off, but what you cannot do - is stay in and chill with your pooch for weeks before and weeks after the actual day, because people randomly decide to let them off.
The fact that you brand everyone a bad dog owner if their dog cannot tolerate fireworks though, is the thing that made me need to comment, what a stupid thing to say. That’s like saying that if your child suffers from anxiety then you are a bad parent.

Most of the people I’ve known with anxiety did have bad parents.
