Dogs have high frequency hearing (more than a human) so you can imagine how loud a clap of thunder or a high wind would sound to them. Not all dogs fear storms, but a great many do.

Things to help your dog:

  • If your dog is a large dog then distract it by trying to play games with it or tossing the ball around.
  • Cuddling with your dog. If your dog is large then get on the floor and cuddle your dog.
  • Dogs love massages!
  • Always speak in a calm and orderly manner as this will calm your pet down.
  • Go about your regular chores (your dog will follow you) and the sight of you doing familiar chores will sometimes calm them down.
  • You also put soft music on, but up a little more than usual so your dog isn't concentrating on the noises of the storm so much.
  • If none of the above work, then speak to your vet. Sometimes the vet will give you a mild sedation (pill form) for your dog.

Dog afriad of outside?

I know that my dog is quite afraid to leave our house, because the other dog we had recently passed away, and he was there her whole life. She's anxious and afraid of new people/other dogs (sometimes barking for 20 minuted if someone new enters our home). She sometimes runs home from a walk even. Reasons for being scared: Maybe a traumatic experience? Attacked previously (other dogs/humans)? Afraid of rain/doesn't like to get wet/hot? Scared of noise of cars? Scared by lots of moving things eg a flapping carrier bag? Trained by a previous owner not to leave? Scared of the loud sound of cars? There's many different reasons for the dog being scared...
