Shut up about your dog. Seriously.

maybe youd like to learn how to speak dogese-yes im serious.
There could be something bothering your dog legitimately(go check your yard etc -it is NYE)
good chance shes just hearing partying and movement when shes used to calmness at night.
Calming signals are things dogs do(especially when meeting new dogs or in new environments)to let each other know theyre cool and everythings ok.
yawning/sighing
lip licking
walking in arcs
and a few other things are valid in this case(some of the others relate specifically to what dogs do around crowds and groups of dogs so i wont mention them.

When she looks worried-do nothing, turn your head away from her, and yawn-as if to say-no big deal, everythings that ok and boring im yawning(stressed creatures dont yawn)sigh a bit(sign youre relaxed) and lick your lips.
Calming signals ar an excellent way to calm reactive dogs-in dogese.

its the fireworks and and your dog is picking up your nervousness

Stay alert, and stay safe.

Prepare a bag, just in case you must run out.

Nothing a few treats can't resolve : )

why???wtf.

It's probably the fireworks...She may be hearing some that you simply cannot.

But for the sake of vagueness, animals oftentimes sense things, so keep an eye open whilst you snooze. You know your pup and know when something isn't right.

Happy new year to you as well. :)

What do I do with my cat if I have to bug out?
