Our dog has been okay throughout the week when she's heard the odd firework, but last night she was terrified. Tonight, she's already curled up on the couch.

Most of the incels setting them off don't even know why they're doing it anyway.
Yes, but what about my family? It’s a good idea that we did do a few years ago, we came back on the 7th and people were still setting them off. My 8 year old daughter has school, a night or 2 would cost more than my dog doing his best Jeffrey Lebowski impression for 2 days. We cope now and so does our dog, it was heartbreaking to see him those first few years and being helpless to console him though.

My dog seems mostly fine, apart from the whistle ones (whatever they are called). but its not just this week. these fireworks go on and on for many weeks earlier. ive heard them in Aug/sep and oct. and at stupid times like 2am , 8am -someone somewhere even did a few at 8.30am today etc. if you have a dog that is scared how would you know someone will set one off in August

You what?
We played quiet firework noises at 10 weeks old once a week for a few weeks. If it was traumatising for him we would have stopped.

Knowing where you live I'm guessing he just thinks the local lids are having a shootout by the shops lol
I spend a few hundred quid on fireworks every year for an organized display in aid of the local dogs rescue centre near me.
They don't seem to appreciate it though. Ungrateful bastards whine non stop while I'm setting them off and the owner keeps throwing things at me trying to knock me off his roof

It’s a funny one my English Bulldog doesn’t mind the bonfire night fireworks but goes ballistic at the Diwali ones

None of you are arsed about scary noises terrifying the dog when you're shagging your missus and you lock the dog outside the bedroom. The poor thing is thinking it's owners are getting murdered behind that door and there's nothing it can do to save you.
Come on, fireworks can go on all night, but the dog can wait a few minutes/seconds outside a door.

A loud bang goes off in the street outside. You look out of the window. There's no one there.
A feeling of fear is generated - especially among the old and isolated. And pets.
That's not good, is it? So why are these things on sale to the public?
No amount of safeguards can stop yobs from getting hold of fireworks. Ban them for heavens sake and to hell with Guy Fawkes. He's had a good run.
As for "organised displays" I am looking out over the whole of south-west Edinburgh from a top flat in the Glasgow road and all I can hear is the pop pop of bangers. No spectacular displays lighting up the night.
Ban them.

More people are injured each year by dogs than fireworks.
