Terry I saw the thunder jacket advertised on the telly the other day. Looks good (and expensive haha).
I am lucky - my lab isn't fazed by fireworks - he lets off the odd growl now and again but they don't bother him

Well 8.15 and fireworks have been full on for three hours , nine year old dogs was climbing the walls for about an hour we totally ignored her and she's calmed down they are still going off and she gone to sleep give her any attention and she goes potty , 8 month old pup isn't bothered in the slightest let her out for a pee and she stayed out there with fireworks going off in all directions even had to shout her back in , soon be over in time for new year , but I must admit I do like them .
Carnation hates the thunder, I wonder if they make these things for us too? :winks:
Sounds like your dog just gets annoyed by them.

It's the bangers I hate. I just don't see the point of them.
With a rocket you see something. With a Catherine wheel or the standing types you see something. Bangers just fart out a loud noise. :doh:
Thundershirts do work but you can also use a small t shirt or a half wrap https://www.thedodo.com/dogs-firewor...529471151.html
I keep a couple of knitted scarves to use on my lot and they really do make a huge difference.
They are very loud too, Yes I had happy memories too as a child in our garden at home on Nov 5 ( it was usually a couple of days before and a couple of days after now it's when ever very sad imho) putting the rockets in empty milk bottles ( use them as stands!) Happy days. The firework laws in my opinion need changing but guess they wont
Agreed, and they should only be in the hands of (or supervised by) responsible people.. I had a firework thrown at me when I was younger and on my way home from the youth club; luckily, the person throwing it was a rotten thrower.
Agreed again.Quote:

I've phoned the police twice when fireworks have been set off nearby illegally (in a public area near a main rail line!). Last year I phoned and they didn't want to know this year they seem to have taken a bit more notice.
It's just got completely out of hand. I signed the petition earlier this year which was debated in parliament. The MP's all seemed to speak about changes being needed then nothing happened because the minister didn't see the need. What a farce!
