New Year’s Eve can be a stressful time for dogs due to loud fireworks.
Experts like veterinarian Björn Åblad and dog trainer Veronica Frohlund emphasize the importance of preparation.
Gradually exposing your dog to noisy environments, such as busy streets or public transport, can help them adapt.
Both agree that staying calm as an owner is crucial, as dogs often mirror their owner’s behavior.
Frohlund, with 30 years of experience, advises distraction techniques during the peak noise at midnight to keep dogs feeling secure.
Training takes time, so starting early is key to ensuring a peaceful celebration for both you and your pet.
