    I do not know of any hearing protection for dogs...except that the gundog breeds have folded ears!! At least you have a few months up your sleeve!

    I have hearing protection for dogs , tried to sell on here and no takers ..... I still have em somewhere
    they are called Mutt Muffs
    I had to get em from America , our dog is very fireworks sensitive ...... in the end we had to use Xanax for dogs , as she would wind herself up as night fell regardless if there was any fireworx

    Talk to your Vet.

    They may have a solution for you.

    Also ask yourself is it wise to risk the aircraft and the other passengers if there is a likelihood that your dog may Freak while airborne.

    That said you have lots of time to train your dog and get him used to air travel.

    Most dogs I have shared a Helicopter with are very good and just snuggle down and enjoy their ride as they know they are going hunting.

    Cheers

    Could also go down the route of a calming cap - basically a glorified sock that goes over your dog's eyes and ears and compresses their head a bit. Some horse owners use the same on horses when travelling.

    Maybe just try watching Apocalypse Now on high volume each time before you go hunting

    Hearing protection for the dog, that's amazing. I don't have any idea about it.
