Most dogs are very afraid of thunder. When they hear the thunder, they will tremble with fear. They will keep drilling under the table and sofa, and even escape from home, get lost, and encounter accidents and other misfortunes. However, thunder cannot be controlled artificially. How can dogs be less afraid of thunder?
The shoveling officer should deal with it calmly.
When the dog hears the thunder and is nervous and uneasy, the shoveling officer should neither yell loudly nor touch and comfort too much. Pet owners should maintain their usual behavior and handle their dogs with calmness and rationality!
Providing a place of peace of mind
You can let your dog stay in its kennel or in its usual spot; a familiar environment will help ease some of its anxiety. Don’t force your dog to stay in one place; let him choose for himself.
Systematic desensitization training
You can record the thunder and play it to the dog. Don't pay too much attention when the dog is uneasily. And when the dog behaves calmly and quietly, reward and praise it. Use repetitive training to help your dog gradually get used to it.
Use sedatives with caution.
When the dog hears thunder and is manic, you can seek the help of a veterinarian and try to feed the dog a sedative (as prescribed by the doctor) to achieve a calm and quiet effect!
Take a dog to see the world.
If after desensitization training, timidity is still not improved, it is estimated that it is caused by too closed childhood. That is to say, the shoveling officer should take more dogs out to see the world. Through rewards and encouragement, let it know that there is nothing to be afraid of new things and new voices from the outside world.
