Fireworks going off in the distance, she won’t come out, not even for cheese!

Anyone Else?

She will need a wee but won’t go in the garden in the dark, always has a walk around this.

When was the last time she went out and if in a push how late can you leave it until you go to bed?

If you could do it - can she last until the morning?

She went in the garden 3ish, she has a strong bladder but not that strong!

Just tried again with cheee, lead on but couldn’t get her out of the front door...

She's terrified, and right now going out for a wee is a secondary concern. You're asking her to leave her safe space and go somewhere where the scary noises are even noisier and hence even scarier. Being unable to eat even tasty food is a sign of a dog that is feeling really, really anxious.

Wait until the fireworks stop, give her some time and then see if she'll come out. If not, go to bed and try again in the early hours. If she is still terrified, leave her until the morning. Will she last until morning and - if not - is she on a hard surface?

They’ve usually stopped long enough for dogs to calm down by about 11.30 Sad my current dog is fine, but I’ve had ones bothered by them before, it’s not fun
