Hello /an/.My dog is afraid of thunder and fireworks.How do I help him overcome this fear?
>>279343mine too. I always want to turn the water on.
>>279342I'd be more worried about a pet that WASN'T scared of thunder and fireworks.
>>279342IGNORE him totally utterly and completely and also don't show any reactions to thunder and fireworks yourself (this is slightly harder). If you try to calm him down or cuddle him, the dog will only think that it is being praised for reacting that way to a thunderstorm.
Consider yourself lucky. Mine is afraid of cameras.
lol, on the fourth of July our dog would always hide in the closet.And yeah, I would be more concerned if your dog /wasn't/ afraid. It seems like a pretty reasonable thing to be scared shitless of.
