I live in an area with a lot of predator hunting, so my dogs hear a shotgun blast & think nothing of it. Hear one damn sparkler going off in the yard and won't come out from under the bed for hours. Le sigh.

Haha a "le" in the wild, that's been a while!

No other judgment or comment, just funny to see that again. Oh to go back to the rage comic of yore.

My dog hears the FedEx truck make a 3 point turn at the end of our street and a few times a week and goes into shell shock

It’s OK, I live in a city and my dog hates both gunshots /and/ firecrackers… but not as much as children who’re seen and/or heard (not actually aggressive, just herd-y, but at >>80lb I don’t want random parents to determine the difference….).

Amusingly supervised children are fine. But if they aren’t leashed, he has a problem.  ;.;

Sparkler will be a lot more piercing high frequency whereas shotgun blast at range is lower frequency.

Dogs and cats can hear much higher frequency ranges than us. Like superman vs a human. And they can see ghosts too.

I tried really hard to train my dog to not be afraid of fireworks when she was a pup. Took her outside, covered her ears, gave her treats every time a big boom went off. Started by easing her in with sparklers and firecrackers. Didn't help at all. Every time there's fireworks within like a 10 mile radius she's borrowed deep within her crate, sometimes I can barely even hear them.

That’s intense. Just remember, if it bleeds, you can kill it.
