Good questions
Before you begin.
Why is my dog scared of thunder?
Dogs can react to the boom, the pressure shift or the wind. The cause is hard to know, so focus on helping your dog feel safe.
Should I comfort a shaking dog?
Yes. Calm company does not reinforce fear. Avoid scolding, and keep your own voice steady.
Can I use recorded storm sounds?
Some trainers use them at very low volumes with treats, but starting too loud can backfire. Ask a professional to guide the steps.
What about leaving my dog outside on holidays?
A frightened dog can bolt, so keep it inside with an ID tag and a microchip that is up to date.
