Ready for Bonfire Night and New Year
The Fireworks Season Survival Plan
About 4 in 10 UK dogs are afraid of fireworks, and the bangs run from mid-October to New Year. This plan covers both halves: a week-by-week sound desensitisation programme, with a shorter schedule if you are starting late, and a night-of playbook for the bangs that arrive before training is done.

Inside the plan
What you get
The 6-week sound programme
Fifteen minutes a day that teaches the alarm system to ignore bangs, with a volume ladder, session recipes and a compressed 2-3 week version if you are starting late.
The den build
Where, how, and the one rule that makes a den work instead of becoming a trap.
The night-of timeline
Bonfire Night hour by hour: the morning walk, the early dinner, lead rules after dark, sound cover, and exactly how to behave while it bangs.
Calming aids, honestly ranked
What each aid can and cannot do, when to start it, and when the right answer is a prescription conversation with your vet, including the two medicines licensed in the UK for noise fear.
The seven classic mistakes
Including the comforting myth that makes owners ignore terrified dogs, debunked properly.
Season log
A printable log so next year starts from data, not memory.
Who it’s for
- Dogs who tremble, hide, pace, bark or bolt at fireworks
- Owners who want a plan for this season and a head start on next year
- Puppy owners who want the fear never to start
One honest caveat
Dogs with extreme responses (soiling, self-injury, escape attempts) need this plan plus a vet appointment; the plan covers what to ask your vet about.
Questions
When should I start?
Today. The full programme runs six weeks; if Bonfire Night is closer than that, the compressed schedule fits it into two to three weeks. The night-of playbook works from the first evening.
