I wish fireworks were banned but, failing that, here's an idea that may help:

An dog owner has revealed how to create a DIY ear muff out of a single sock to help keep dogs calm on bonfire night.

Caitlin Miller, 17, from South Shields, Tyne and Wear, had been looking for a more cost-effective way to calm her pets when fireworks were let off.

Instead of purchasing stress bands or calming jackets from specialist stores, she decided to create a headband to muffle the sound - simply by cutting the ankle and toes off a pair of socks. 

The comfortable contraption helps quieten the distressing noises and creates a slight compression that makes it feel like the dog is being cuddled, she claimed.
