Project Description
Continuation of project that was previously put through the research office for the Dogs Trust charity. The project will focus on measuring and comparing 'silent' fireworks with ordinary fireworks in context of their negative effects on dogs. We expect publications, news coverage and policy recommendations as outputs from the project. The previous project was featured in national media (eg. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-63960673) and further press releases and journal papers are planned once the second phase of the project is completed.
