re: Remedies for dog anxiety during storms/fireworks?

How old is the dog? What’s the breed?

The best remedy is to train the dog around loud noises. But depending on age and breed will determine how challenging this will be.

I would begin what is called “box feeding”. So you’ll Put the dogs food in a box where they have to submerge their head into it and can’t see their surroundings. Then you’ll start introducing loud noises across the room (clapping, dropping a bowl, loud music, gunfire even). You start from a distance away and slowly get closer and apply more stress as well as increase sound decibel.

This is a slow process over months. Do not rush it and anytime the dog becomes over stressed then back off with noise and distance.
