Sound-proofing your dog from the storm god
The lightning flashed. The house shook. And I already knew what was about to happen.
Some dogs get a little jumpy around fireworks or thunderstorms.
But my dog, Moon? She completely shuts down.
Shaking. Hiding. Pacing.
Like the world is ending.
Car horns? No problem.
Distant fireworks? Barely a flinch.
But thunderstorms? Still pure terror.
The Worst Part?
During every storm…without fail… she sneaks off to pee on something.
The kitchen mat.
Our mattress.
Even on top of the dining room table.
(Don’t ask.)
What Doesn’t Work?
We tried all the “shortcuts” you see online…
- Thundershirts? She hated it. And it made her look goofy.
- Soothing treats? Too scared to eat.
- Noise masking? Works… if you do it right.
- Medication? I don’t want my dog drugged out like a zombie all day. (And you probably don’t either.)
So… what’s the fix?
