Help for Thunderphobic Dogs!!!


Its coming, yes a thunderstorm. I always know without looking out the window if there is a storm approaching.
Molly knows it is coming. I can see it in her eyes.
For years she has hated thunderstorms. I am lucky she has never progressed to the worst stages where they dig at doors, break windows to get out ect.
The other day I read about Canine Lullabies and thought it would be worth a try. It is music with heartbeats and many thunderphobic dogs find it calming.
The first storm was in the afternoon and was not a big one, but one that would have caused some shaking and quaking. I put on the CD and in a few minutes I found that Molly had gone over and was asleep.
Great , I was so excited.
Late afternoon brough storms that lasted about 1 1/2 hours. Lots of thunder and lighting . Once again I put on the CD. With this storm , when it got closer , she tucked her tail, but no shaking. She played with her treat ball the entire time.
I am hopeful this will continue to help with storms. I used to love big thunderstorms now I dread them because of Molly.
