Dogs are afraid of thunder and rain.

Dogs are really afraid of thunder and rain, which is determined by their natural instinct. When there is lightning, dogs may show anxiety and fear, such as licking their mouths, putting their ears on their backs, drooping their tails, opening their eyes wide, and even seeking shelter from their owners.

To help dogs overcome this fear, you can try the following methods:

1. Provide shelter: You can prepare a quiet kennel or provide a small shelter for the dog, put it in a cage in the corner, and then cover it with a blanket to make the dog feel that there is a safe place to hide.

2. Distract with snacks or games: Pet owners can put snacks in a leaky feeder and let the dog eat and play, so that the dog can ignore the thunder outside.

3. Accustom to thunder: Through desensitization training, let dogs get used to the sound of thunder. This kind of training requires patience and continuous efforts.

4. Wear tights: By exerting continuous and gentle pressure on the dog, the dog's skin can change its ability to perceive changes in the external environment and remain calm.

5. medication: the owner can consult the pet doctor about sedatives. When some dogs are excessively anxious, they may need the help of drugs to calm down.

Please note that each dog's situation may be different, and you need to choose the most suitable method according to the actual situation. At the same time, when you and your dog are in thunderstorm weather, make sure it stays in a safe and quiet place to minimize its stress and fear.
