Guide Dogs said they hoped to expand the training archive with a wider variety of clips, recorded from different distances and locations, capturing the whistles and crackles of screechers and Catherine wheels, and the sudden bangs of rockets and larger displays.
One of the charity’s experts, Haley Andrews, said: “Fireworks night is just round the corner, but there’s still time to start desensitising beloved pets now.
“It’s straightforward, relatively easy to do and can help avoid the heartache, expense and disruption so many dog owners experience in the weeks running up to and even after Bonfire Night on November 5.
“By introducing the sounds gradually, at a level their dog can cope with, owners can give their pet, and their household, the best possible chance of having a calmer Bonfire Night.”
