Secure the puppy with a place, where no one will be around and the noise is not going to be so loud. If you are leaving your pet alone on New Year, simply draw the curtains and turn on the radio.

Try to isolate the noise from the fireworks with some relaxing CD or leave your TV switched on.

Even if your dog is in the yard, the burst of the fireworks can seriously stress it. Therefore, don’t leave the dog outside. Distract it with ball plays or some physical activity.

If your dog has already heard the fireworks outside, cuddle it for a while, in order to make it feel that there is nothing scary.
