Early happy 4th.
Thanks, kidlester and a Happy 4th of July to all! It is a hard day on my Dogs though. All types of fireworks even the " Safe and Sane" ones are banned here and subject to a $1000
fine. That doesn't seem to stop anyone though. Now they even throw them from moving cars to avoid the police. The noise and concussion from some of these explosives are unbelievable .
Thanks Gary.We've tried,tranquilizers from the vet and even tried one of those snug type
jackets that make the Dog feel secure, didn't work. I have to hold one of the dogs and try calming her down while her heart is pounding like crazy.The other dog barks himself into exhaustion. I can't even begin to describe the contempt I have for these inconsiderate jerks who do this year after year. Imagine how tough this must be for combat veterans or others with PTSD .
That's funny!
Our detector list is almost identical.
It was a DFX that got me back into detecting wish i still had it. I had a CTX 3030 and a still have a 6000Di series 2.
HH!

Hello all.
Happy 4TH to all and good luck to all.
Remember what this holiday weekend is all about.
Happy hunting!

It is tough on some dogs and dog owners during the 4th and new years and even on days when some guy's sports team wins a championship.
I have had dogs in the past there were gun shy with thunder and fireworks. It is also hard on the owner seeing their dogs terrified and not being able to do anything. I used to go to bed early with dogs in the bed and the TV or music playing louder to help cover the fireworks sounds. That helped.
That is something most people don't think about, especially those setting off the fireworks. Plus a dog's sense of hearing is much sensitive to the high-pitched noises. And unfortunately many people start setting off fireworks weeks before the 4th and weeks after until they have lit off the very last firecracker they have. It sounds like you are doing everything possible to reduce the level of stress that your dogs experience during this time.

The Royal mini-poodle was the best weather alert dog we ever had! If a thunderstorm was in 15 miles of us, he would set up a commotion and as it got closer would sit in our lap and shake. We found holding him to us with a pillow was some consolation and calming to him. But there was nothing else he was afraid of.
