Here are some tips to help calm down an anxious dog during a thunderstorm:
Create a safe space: Provide your dog with a safe and comfortable area where they can retreat to during the storm, such as a cozy den or covered crate.
Use calming techniques: Try using calming techniques such as gentle massage, soothing music, or aromatherapy to help relax your dog.
Provide distractions: Offer your dog some of their favorite toys or treats to help distract them from the storm.
Stay calm: Dogs can pick up on their owner's anxiety, so try to remain calm and composed to help your dog feel more at ease.
Consult with a veterinarian: If your dog's anxiety during thunderstorms is severe, consider consulting with a veterinarian for additional guidance and possible medication options.
