Approximately half of the animals I work with suffer from noise phobias. Here's what I've learned about why animals fear fireworks:
🐾 Past trauma from frightening experiences
🐾 Inherited anxiety from a stressed mother
🐾 Learned behaviour from other animals
🐾 Ancestral heritage and survival instincts
Understanding the root cause is the first step to helping your animal feel safe and calm.
