They're just naturally nervous little fuzz balls. CBD or Xanax makes things a lot easier on them.

Hate this holiday. I have to drug my dog with CBD just so she’s not shaking in a corner all right.
DENNISystem
My dogs oddly enjoy fireworks. Fucking weirdos
IUpvoteArt
My dog is a "trained" hunting dog. She will run towards anything you shoot at and gets super happy at any loud bang
CosbysQuaaludes
As a chihuahua owner, this is hands down my most hated day yearly. (Note: rescued chihuahuas, no one willingly purchases a chihuahua)

What have dogs come to?

Even my pitbull is afraid of fireworks, but he’s a rescue so anything could be the reason.
SnowpersonHitInTheFaceWithALackOfCreativity
Thank you for giving him another chance <3

My dog loses his mind with anxiety with fireworks
hoistedbymyownpetard
Hey, how’d you get a picture of my Parent’s little yapping dick head of a dog?
dirrrtypiratehookerrr
I had a yorkie unafraid of thunder and fireworks. Bf set off huge surprise firework while we were outside. He never was the same. Be kind
metroid2
Did your bf accidentally shoot a large bottle rocket and it ended up ramming his own nuts?
nitehaBeast
Kava kava is very relaxing for them
ravenfool
Mine aren't little dogs but are terrified of things that sound like gunshots cause of some awful shit when they were young.
ravenfool
They're fine with thunderstorms vacuuming etc. But this is probably our least favorite holiday.
RainbowAmoeba
My 110lb giant chicken Captain doesn’t like fireworks... he shakes the bed as he’s hiding under it.
RhamnusiaThePaladin
Got plenty of cat nip, treats, tuna, feathers. and cardboard scratchers to sate my feline friend... on second thought... maybe I need more
Monkey1Overlord
"I'm going to yap the entire year because of this." -yappy little shit, probably
igotyoursauce
Of course they go missing. It's independence day!

Took my dog to the dog park few days ago. 6 of those high pitched little fuckers started going off while my 65lb dog just stood there.
CherylCarolCherleneTunt
I was like "are you fucking serious?" to the owners. They all left after their dogs wouldn't shut up for the next ten minutes.
CherylCarolCherleneTunt
GOD I hate people who don't train their animals.
MishiMoshiSquishyToesies
I have that problem with big dogs. My 7lb pom rarely barks, and usually just for the doorbell. But 60-100lbs dogs will not shut up when they
MishiMoshiSquishyToesies
see and owners just make the excuse that oh, they just don't recognize she's a dog bc she's so little. Right.. a dog can't smell another dog
b0mtombadil
I can never understand the people that bring their dogs to watch fireworks. There are always so many "lost dog" posts the next day
iwhantabir
And so it begins...
Jthechef
My dogs just don’t care, they even just sit as we vacuum around them, no fucks given. Fireworks, thunder storms all loud noises, no reaction
poppaw2
Dog's hearing is much more sensitive than human. Literally hurts their ears.
angelghoul
my dog literally could care less about noises. He reacts crazy to light reflections though. He doesn’t understand the sorcery.
VitaminJay
Most Karens go silent when you begin barking back....
BojanglesTheFlyingCar
Too many people treat little dogs like babies. They been discipline like any other dog.
bruhdudebruh
You underestimate the amount of people who neglect their dogs and dont train them correctly or appropriately.
FlatPlutoSociety
And exercise and mental stimulation. People want Yorkies and poodles and Papillons to be lazy little lap dogs, but they're really not.
codnuggets
Take a cleansing breath there sarge
Jussathrowaway3000
The message is a little diluted but I agree: your tiny dog is still a dog. It needs discipline and structure or it will be a little shit
krisiteenie56
I baby the hell out of my 4lb Chihuahua and hes not afraid or fireworks. He will bark a couple times when he hears it and then doesnt care
angelghoul
I baby my king charles and he knows its not good behavior to bark at the door or the window or noises. He was raised with time and care.
angelghoul
the point is you CAN do both. but people don’t.
andBingowashisNameOh
I have a 4lb chihuahua too! Wonderful little guy.
hurrdurr69
You can still baby your dog while training it properly, you're probably just a good pet owner
SpammaJamma
Never understood the people that let/encourage their dog barking. It's not funny/cute when they do it nonstop at 3am. Discipline your dog.
RedR0ze
No idea how my neighbors don't hear it or are able to ignore it. I hear it and I'm inside, on the far side of my house from their yard!
Bulmero8
I train mine to bark at the door. I want people to know I have dogs
ImHidingFromMyKids
My dog is a livestock guard dog and will never be taught not to bark. He barks to keep predators away. That being said, I don’t live in a /1
ImHidingFromMyKids
/2 live in a city. I’ve also taught him to “settle” which means I heard you and I’ll deal with the problem. He stops barking when I takeover
thelocalcorner
I have mine to alert me of people or things by my house. Amazon guy dog barks, car in driveway barks, neighbor being a cunt barks.
TeeWrecksQt
I tought Rosko to speak but he only does it on command. He also barks when a car pulls in the driveway. It depends alot on the dog.
TakamiStitches
Right there with you. An ill trained dog is such a nuisance compared to what you could have with a decently disciplined one.
spiffylookingnerfherder
Ours has started doing it, but in his defense, it's always been because a raccoon, coyote, or deer is too close to the house.
PixelSprite64
My dog would get upset if she couldn't bark so I taught her to use her indoor voice and bark quietly instead.
DyloMods
Teach me, master
herrmatt
Dogs bark because they're excited, scared or angry. You don't "discipline" them, just pay attention and change the environmental triggers.
MrPhukett
Thanks. I bristled at the word “discipline”, but every time I make an informed comment about dog behaviour the fuckers downvote me to hell.
joot
Yeah, but my neighbor’s dog is “excited” at trees, bushes, grass, and earth. There is nothing exciting as far as the rest of us can see.
AndrewBuggy
My neighbours chihuahua does that too, the ugly little noisy bastard. Itll bark nonstop for hours on end. Neighbour doesn't care.
CutlassAndClean
Some breeds are just incredibly prone to barking and you can train most of it away but some things are just not going to take, for example
gnomegenome
Then dont get those breeds of dogs if you have neighbors.
CutlassAndClean
I trained my dog not to bark at noises outside the door or people knocking or even people coming in until we had an intruder when I was
CutlassAndClean
At home playing games with headphones in, I turned and saw the guy and he threw a picture at me and ran and then my dog started barking
CutlassAndClean
Now I struggle to discipline him when he barks at a sound at the door
DI2EAD
See, we don’t discipline ever for door barks for this reason. If we’re walking or she’s in the back yard or in the house just yapping? Naw
Smigions
So fucking true. My crappy doggy spend every other day of the year barking its head off today she might piss herself from a few booms.
HarleenQuinzel4
You should probably not be a pet owner.....
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
You should probably stay off the internet
LexziShadow
People started lighting fireworks on the 2nd and every night after. My cats have been going nuts.
Smigions
I'm sorry to hear that, around me it the same they started mid June.
Smigions
But so is the life of a Jack Russell. I will have 4 white noise machines going and having the little shit hide under some covers with me.
littledogs9
I like you.
Smigions
I like you too stranger.
snowgloom
Get a room you two
Smigions
We might wanna come?
ItsActuallyDavidNow
Not a bad idea to take your dog out for a nice long walk before it starts getting dark. Let them tire themselves out and be asleep by night.
pippinsmerry
My floof boy hates fireworks and will not sleep while they're going on. We have a tradition now of spending the 4th together, and he'll curl
pippinsmerry
up between my legs (as best as he can since he's 80 pounds lol) and rest his head on my leg while I pet him and hum songs. It calms him down
CerealKillerr
fartser
Where do you live that they only start shooting fireworks at night? They've been going strong since 8AM here
MrsGroovy
Done! 2 humid, gross miles!
fedeColorTerror
Or train them. My cousin's dog can walk for miles and be more energetic than before. But one hour of training and he'd sleep for the rest of
derringermeryl
This! My dog gets the zoomies after almost every walk.
fedeColorTerror
the day. The dog trainer said that some very phisically energetic dogs get exhausted only with mental exercises. (Basic tricks with rewards)
fedeColorTerror
Because they have to pay attention and use their brain, he said.
Dahliaisahedgehog
Americans need more training
prismbear
This!!! I have a dingo and she can and will never be tired from exercise. We still play with her but mental stimulation is heaps better!
rusrsdude
Just like the marines
BaxterTheMiniatureBuddha
Except it's so hot and my black lab can barely be outside for more than 15 mins :/
Golfbob
Lake!
prismbear
That’s when I take my dog in the forest where it’s more shaded and leads to a nice refreshing river or lake or ocean swim :)
BaxterTheMiniatureBuddha
Why are you getting downvoted? Tf lol
prismbear
Good question. Desert people maybe? Haha.
thisisagoldfish
After that you can take the helicopter back to the resort
prismbear
Umm ya except I live in a mobile home.. just happen to live in close proximity to nature is all.
thisisagoldfish
No need to brag.
