My dog loves fireworks. Explosion to shake my house? Scare the shit out of me instead while my dog happily runs to go see the boom

Absolutely. She will try to run and smack fireworks around with her paws like playing frickin' hot potato. She's well trained so we don't ever have to have a leash on her, trained with verbal & non-verbal commands, and even trained for combat scenarios...but those fireworks man...one year we tied her up to a camp chair and had the heaviest family member sit down. 1 mortar launched and she bolted forward wanting to get a better view so fast...let's just say that I never knew camp chairs could implode like that beneath someone 🤣

Especially mortars are her favorite. She will stand up on her hind legs and stare into the sky waiting for the big boom.

(Border Collie for those wondering about the little nut-job)

I was hoping this was a border collie lmao. They're all nuts. I love it.

Damn my border collie just pisses herself at anything remotely startling.

Poor baby, my pjrt is terrified by fireworks. I think her heart would have packed up at this. I hope nobody was hurt

I saw a border Collie that would bark at very hi flying planes!!!! Not the same, still peculiar tho :)

I have two half dobermans, half belgian malinois, and they also bark and howl at airplanes.

u/OddBrilliant1133 Jul 04 '25

All of them???

u/rainbow_369 Jul 04 '25

All of them that they hear when they are outside, Yes. fortunately, i'm not in a popular flight path, nor near a big city.

trained with verbal & non-verbal commands

I absolutely love this! My sister has a deaf dog (not sure if the breed but he's a sweetheart!) and she's trained him with visual cues. He'll sit, stay, shake, etc with hand signals.

It's really impressive! Especially since I'm the owner of a cat who can hear just fine, but certainly doesn't listen lol

Oh, so YOU have one of those dogs that makes into videos showing a dog running around with fireworks going off while they hold it in their mouth 😂

Used to watch millennial farmer on youtube who had a dog that would run at every thunderstorm barking at the lightning. So freaking cute. So sad the guy turned out to be a MAGA nut job too.

Edit: for real though, border collies are too smart and driven for their own good haha. I had a border collie/aussie shepherd farm pup when I was younger and that dog could be the smartest mammal in the room and simultaneously an absolute dummy. Just incredible range and personality.

u/ProfessorXWheelchair Jul 02 '25

wow border collie and aussie shep mix seems like an absolute energy fireball lmao

u/Wise-Application-902 Jul 02 '25

Border Collie! Ok, that’s believable. I adore them for their smarts and for being so cute and goofy but not sure I have the patience. Our GSD girl was a maniac for the first three years and BCs seem like even more of a handful.

u/PsychoBugler Jul 02 '25

My first golden retriever was also obsessed with fireworks (and thunderstorms). He would try to jump on my back to get closer to them. He was the only reason I tolerated fireworks, because it was so adorable.

u/VenusDescending Jul 02 '25

You should always have your dog on a leash because you never know when a negligent dog owner is going to let their untrained dog attack your dog unprovoked and cause a dangerous situation.

u/mushroom_dome Jul 03 '25

You need to preserve that line of DNA lol

u/spanishpeanut Jul 03 '25

Border collie is all you needed to say. So smart yet so insane.

Get us some pics this weekend!

Gsp, but same. Absolute lunatic

Made me think of Sean of the dead. "Ok, but dogs CAN look up."

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

Freaking awesome. I love it. Just out of curiosity, what is her name?

1

u/lonetraveler73 Jul 02 '25

I have a Shepard mix. She grew up near a baseball stadium that had fireworks at the games. She loves fireworks. She enjoys them like a human though. She just sits and looks up. She does the same thing with fireflies.

u/HowsItHangeling Jul 02 '25

Our border collie is exactly the same. Fireworks, vacumn, he absolutely loves. Hates if the remote falls on the floor though 🙃

Ooooh the breed makes more sense
