thunder. Fortunately, there are ways to
help your pet cope with this fear and stay calm during a storm.
Calming Tips:
- Quiet Hideaway – Make sure that your
pet has access to a quiet place where he or she can go to hide. If possible, try to block out the lightening
and cover up the sound of the thunder. - Stay Distracted – Sometimes playing
a game or distracting your pet with their favorite toy can keep them at ease. - Conditioning Behavior – Behavior modification
can desensitize your pet to the sound of a storm. Try playing recordings in short intervals for
conditioning.
