What do dog owners think of this as an idea for dogs with fireworks issues.

Posted by ceregon Jul 5 '12, 08:43

My dog is fine, but I have had dogs who were terrified every 4th. I tried helping a friend's dog last night, but the poor guy was so scared he'd pee every time there was a loud bang.

Anyways, what if people with dogs headed to a remote motel 6 (they allow dogs and are cheap) in an out of the way location. You call the owners and make sure there weren't any fireworks set off nearby. The dogs aren't subjected to loud noises and get to play with other dogs. The owners don't have to watch their dogs whimper and panic.

honestly, I would expect some local asshole teenagers to deliberately shoot some off right in the 'barking lot" but even the best laid plans go astray - zeitgeist Jul 5, 13:08
We take our little one to a kennel in town that's pretty well soundproofed. Pretty cheap, too. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 5, 09:05 1
- Soundproof is good. Wonder if most kennels are like that. - ceregon Jul 5, 09:07
Good luck with that part of making sure there would be no fireworks within earshot. - Spawn Jul 5, 08:46 4
